The Gardens Race 9

Prize Money: $2,335

HOOKED ON JOY (1) was an impressive winner two back but last start drifted back and wound up strongly to finish a 5.5 lengths third at Gosford (22.51). Safe beginner who draws ideally on the inside. Rates highly and will give a great sight. SEMI PEAKIN' (7) boasts a consistent overall record including three wins from 13 starts, the latest winning (22.40) over 400m at Maitland. Has a good overall strike-rate and can find the frame here. RHAPSODY BEAST (4) hasn't been far away, finishing in the money two back at this track then finished on the winners' heels in a Grade 5 at this track last time. Key player on best and worth another try. GARY INDIANA (6) is worth some thought after being close-up last start.

Inside draw could be an advantage. Last start finished fifth over 400m at this track, beaten 3.5 lengths (23.51) behind Zipping Kit Kat in a Grade 5 on February 7. Can't recommend him in this.

Got back last start and could only manage second but before that won by 3 lengths at Taree Super Track (30.83) beating Pacific Tiger in a Grade 5 on January 17. Not far from winner last time but has the job ahead here.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (23.10) in a Grade 5, finishing a 1.75 lengths fourth. Fairly consistent record from the draw including a win and two minors. Among the main chances.

Good effort at double-figure odds last time when second (17.62) over 300m at Taree Super Track. One of the better hopes.
