The Gardens Race 10

Minmi Hotel 1 Win

Stake: $2,495

IT'S A RAGE (3) is better than last start when fourth (20.48) in a Grade 5 at Grafton over 350m. Worth another chance. WRECK IT REX (6) flew the lids from out wide with an impressive turn of foot before finishing second (25.12) and beaten 6 lengths over 431m at Gunnedah. Comes through a solid form race last start. Leading player again. NITTY GRITTY (1) turned spotting a big start finishing seventh (24.23) last time in a Grade 5 at this track. In the mix. KASEY'S WAY (7) cannot be ruled out.

Suited by inside box. Last start finished last on June 6 over 400m at this track behind Toby Bell beaten 13 lengths (24.23) in a Grade 5. Expected to bounce right back. Hard to beat.

Has finished sixth at his last couple of starts, most recently at Gosford over 388m. Can make amends. Worth including.
