The Gardens Race 9

Ladbrokes Racing Extras In Multi 1-3 Win

Prize Money: $2,335

NAUGHTY ZESTA (5) was out of in the placings when fifth last time but prior to that posted a slick 22.40 win over 400m at Maitland. Rates on top and can find winning form again. JET FUEL (7) flew the lids from the middle with an impressive turn of foot, going on to clock 22.92 when a 2.5 lengths winner over 400m at this track. Sure to be thereabouts. SANDRA KEEPING (4) won comfortably last time scoring by 6 lengths at this track after jumping from box 6 (22.67). Has a tricky draw to overcome and will need a clean break. Ran one of the fastest times on the program in her latest win. One of main contenders. LARRIKIN PIONEER (2) is not to be discarded.

Missed the frame latest (23.24) when fourth over 400m at Maitland in a Grade 5. Goes well out of this box with a win and two minors. Looks one of the chances.

Got back last start and could only manage fifth but before that won by 1.5 lengths at Taree Super Track (17.71) beating She's A Angel in a Maiden on January 21. Doesn't look smart enough to threaten the top few.
