The Gardens Race 9

Daily Blue, Weekly Ep 100 - Aug 9

Stake: $2,495

BARRAMUNDI LOU (1) has been below best and missed the frame last couple, finishing 5th (23.98) last time in a Grade 5 at this track. Goes very well at course and distance boasting seven wins. Has good speed and is aided by the cherry draw. Looks the one to beat on his best form. SOLAR RUSH (7) was in traffic last time here and fell. Good beginner but will need a little luck early crossing from on outside draw. Looks suited here and worth another try. HALO GRACE (2) pinged the lids and was in the firing line early but drifted out of it when 7th at this track in Grade 5 company. The form out of her last race has been franked. Must be included in calculations. FIREBALL NIGHT (4) should be thereabouts despite an unplaced run here most recently.

Hasn't threatened at his last couple but he goes well over this track and distance with seven wins from 12 starts. Looks a strong winning hope.

Last start finished 7th in a Grade 5 on July 5 over 400m at this track behind Scott Wednesday beaten 3.5 lengths (23.65). Should prove hard to beat.

Going very well with wins at his last two. Scored most recently over 400m at this track in Grade 5 class four weeks ago. Holds top-three claims.

Has been in the minor money the last two runs, the latest at big odds finishing third (23.52) at this track. Drawn awkwardly. Prefer others.

Tends to be fast away. Last start finished eighth over 300m at Taree Super Track, beaten 14 lengths (18.82) behind Anguilliformes in a Grade 5 on July 20. Didn't show up last start but give him another chance.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage sixth last time out over 400m at this track. Doesn't profile as a likely winner.
