The Gardens Race 3

The Cheeto - March 21

Prize Money: $2,515

ICE ON FIRE (4) returned a better run last time, finishing in the money (16.14) at this track behind Young Energy in a Grade 4/5. Has the pace to be prominent. Capable of going well again. ASTON PRESIDENT (2) turned spotting a big start finishing eighth (18.05) last time in a Grade 4/5 at Taree Super Track. Solid record at the distance winning seven races. A big run wouldn't surprise. SALAMAT (8) steps out for the first time at this circuit. Comes here a last start placegetter at Gunnedah in a Grade 4/5 (19.87). Consistent performer from this draw with a win and two minor placings to her credit. Expected to be in this for a long way. BIG RED MIYAGI (7) gets a chance to redeem an unplaced effort here last start.

Won two starts back after racing on the pace at Dubbo over 318m in 18.61. Couldn't repeat the feat last time out when seventh over 340m at Gunnedah at Grade 5 level. Has ability and worth including.

Snuck into the minor money last time when a 0.8 lengths second at Gunnedah but did record a solid 19.69 over the 340m journey. Harder here and one for the multiples.

Placed last time (19.87) at Gunnedah in a Grade 4/5, finishing third and beaten 3 lengths. Has never missed the frame from three starts from the draw, including a win. Looks well placed and should feature.
