The Gardens Race 5

Ladbrokes Quick Multi

Prize Money: $3,235

LIZZIE LONG LEGS (2) has a strong record here with three wins and a minor from seven starts. Below best last time at Nowra (30.38) in a Grade 5, finishing a 6 length fourth. Rates a leading player. GRAND FORTE (1) has a fair record and proved too strong last time to win by a nose at Maitland in a handy 22.68 beating Despicable Pedro. Strong form has emerged from his last run. One of the key runners again. SPARKLING WHEELS (5) jumped from a low draw and boxed on well to finish second last time, beaten a nose (29.88) behind Midnight Mohawk at this track. Recorded one of the quickest times on the card last start despite being beaten. Expected to feature. PIZZA THIEF (7) can fill a top-three spot.

Comments

Missed the frame latest (29.98) when fifth over 515m at this track in a Grade 4/5. Fairly consistent record from the draw including a win and two minors. Has ability and can sneak into the finish.
