The Gardens Race 4

Bishop Collins 0-1 Win

Prize Money: $3,110

WAY TOO LONG (3) last start finished 3rd in a Maiden on December 22 over 350m at Grafton behind Full Twist beaten 5.5 lengths (20.64). Rates a leading player and sure to be in this for a long way. NIPPY ZESTA (1) has been beaten for early speed lately, last time finishing fourth (23.41) in a Grade 5 at this track. Bold showing expected. SPUNKY MONKEY (7) finds it hard to break through. Has hit the frame the last two runs, the latest when third (32.53) at Maitland. Ran one of the fastest times on the program last start despite finishing in the minors. Can feature again. RAINBOW CATLEY (8) is worth consideration.

Suited by inside box. Latest effort finished 4th in a Grade 5 on January 11 over 400m at this track behind Dashing Mimco beaten 8 lengths (23.41). Thereabouts at the last couple. Suited here and likely to run well.
