The Gardens Race 5

The Lids Fly Hosted Pots 1-2 Win

Prize Money: $3,135

IMPERATOR (1) was out of character last run when missing the frame, finishing sixth (30.62) in a Grade 5 at Wentworth Park. Normally a good beginner but was shuffled back from the inside last time. Form from her last run is proving strong. Better than the latest run and deserves another chance. DIGGER SURE CAN (2) ran below his best last time finishing sixth (25.46) over 450m at Maitland in a Grade 5. Has ability and a bold showing is expected. ACE'S FOUR BRIAN (8) should enjoy clear running from the outside box. Below best latest at Maitland (25.58) when 8th and beaten 10 lengths. Has a strong winning record here at this journey including zero wins. Remains without a win from the draw but has been in the placings two times from four attempts. Cannot be underestimated. JUST US BOYS (7) hit the frame here last time and looks a chance again.

Returns from a eight months break and only other fresh up run was on debut, when a 22.76 winner at big odds over 400m at this track. The form out of the last run measures up. Hard to beat.

Has hit the frame the last two starts, the latest when third (30.11) over 515m at this track. Awkward draw to overcome. Looks to have the job ahead.

Was out of placings last time (25.58) at Maitland in a Grade 5, finishing eighth and beaten 10 lengths. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed two times. Has ability and looks a key chance.
