The Gardens Race 2

Staff Appreciation Masters

Stake: $2,495

FIREBALL NIGHT (2) was in the minors two back (23.02) at this track but ran below best last time there, finishing 6th. Form here at the trip sound including five wins. Form from his last run is proving to be solid. Rates on top in this line up. CHLOE'S COMET (8) is a capable type and proved too strong last time to win by half a length at this track in a handy 23.01 beating Salem Sweetheart. Has performed well from this box with a win and four minor placings to her name from eight starts. Can make it back-to-back wins. WEFFALEE SHIELD (1) goes very well this trip starting 51 times for 18 wins and 17 minors. In the money last time at Maitland (22.73) in a Grade 4/5, finishing a 4 length third. Looks well placed here and among the chances. BLAZIN' BAD ZULA (5) cannot be ruled out.

Returns from a spell and worth noting was a winner when last resuming, scoring over 400m at this track. Makes plenty of appeal fresh.

Finished third last start (23.38) at big odds over 400m at this track. Drawn awkwardly. Has to do a bit more.
