The Gardens Race 10

Minmi Hotel

Stake: $2,867

STOP IT ZIPPER (1) goes very well here starting 20 times for seven wins and four minors. In the money last time at Gosford (22.29) in a NG, finishing a 0.8 lengths third. Makes strong appeal on best. SKINNY MARIE (8) hit the ground running off the tricky draw and gave a sight in front, boxing on well for a minor when third (23.00) at this track in a Grade 4 over 400m. Boasts two wins from four starts out of this box. Hard to beat again. LIKEABLE ROGUE (6) missed the frame latest when sixth at this track (23.18) but scored five back at this track (23.26). Great chance to atone. BIG RUSH (3) has been in the money at his last two runs, most recently when second (22.99) in a Grade 4 over 400m at this track.

Finished in the minors last time in a NG at Gosford when a 0.8 lengths third but did run a strong 22.29 over the 388m journey. Rates a top chance with a repeat here.

Solid performance to win by one length at Gosford over 388m (22.33) beating Limitless Larson in Grade 4/5 on August 26. Hard to tip with any confidence.

Won two starts back after racing on the pace at this track over 400m in 22.95. Followed that up with a minor placing over 515m at this track at Grade 5 two weeks ago. Can't make much of a case this time.

Hit the ground running last time with a strong early split and tried to lead throughout but had to settle for the minors when third (23.00) at this track over 400m. Has been around the mark at her last couple and should make her presence felt.
