The Gardens Race 9

Gapnsw.com.au Masters

Prize Money: $2,335

YOU NEVER LOSE (3) was well off top last time, finishing 4th (23.09) in a Mix 1/2/3 at Maitland. Has won here at this journey. Goes well out of this box with a win and four minor placings. Can bounce back. STYLISH ROBBO (6) below best last time at this track (23.19) in a Grade 3/4, finishing a 5.5 lengths fifth. With even luck and a clean start can sneak into the finish. GREAT FLASH (1) started big odds but ran one of the quickest times of the card with a 0.8 lengths win (22.38) at Gosford latest. Has a good record at this journey. Recorded one of the quickest times on the card in scoring last start. Should be in this for a long way. WEFFALEE SHIELD (5) is worth including after a top-three finish in a tight contest most recently.

Good effort to score just four days ago over 388m at Gosford by 0.8 lengths in a Mix 2/3. Expected to go well again.

Didn't make the placings last time at Maitland (23.09) in a Mix 1/2/3, finishing a 9 length fourth. Has one win and four placings from six starts from the draw. Key chance and should go close.

Comments

Form has been good with a placing two starts ago and a win three runs back. Last time out finished 3rd on February 27 over 400m at this track behind Jasper Darke beaten 5.5 lengths (23.17) in a NG. Others hold stronger claims.

Comments

Looks close to another win after his success on January 7 at Taree Super Track over 300m. Last start was second over 400m in 22.48, behind Furious. Thereabouts at his last couple and is capable of better.

Could manage only fifth last time but impressed the start prior when she clocked a brilliant 22.72 over 400m finishing second at this track. Has the ability and expected to go close again.
