The Gardens Race 4

Racing Every Weekend In Newcastle

Prize Money: $2,655

MODEST MAN (1) is a progressive type who recorded his 11th career win last time out (29.79) at Wentworth Park. Form here at this distance is sound. Has a strong record out of this box with three wins and two minor placings from five starts. Well placed and will be tough to beat. ZIPPING VIVID (2) has a strong record here with seven wins and five placings from 19 starts. Hit the frame latest (23.21) when third at this track in a Free For All. Makes strong appeal on best. HUNTERVIEW LAD (5) was well backed last start but ran below expectations when fifth (17.75), beaten 5 lengths. Good beginner but will need a little luck from a middle draw. One of the better chances. SEMI PEAKIN' (7) generally performs well here at this distance.

Recorded a nose win (29.79) in a Grade 5 last time at Wentworth Park. Yet to miss the placings in five runs from this box, including three wins. Looks suited here and rates a leading chance.

Comments

Hit the ground running with a slick early sectional but had to settle for a minor placing when a 4.5 lengths third over 400m at this track, clocking 23.21. Boxed on well at the latest run to hit the frame. Leading player.

Tends to be fast away. Last start finished sixth on July 28 over 388m at Gosford behind Electric Blue, beaten 6 lengths (22.62) in a NG. Can't enthuse on this occasion.

Good effort to win last start by half a length over 388m at Gosford in a handy (22.45), beating Ibrox Maverick. Will find this a bit tougher, solid win last time out but this looks tough.

Well supported here last start but couldn't repay punters, finishing finished 5th on July 29 over 300m at Taree Super Track behind Kiarni Bolt beaten 5 lengths (17.75) in a NG. Placed two back at this track. Fought on last time. Has the ability and right in the mix.

Finished fifth (23.76) last start at this track. Prior to that had recorded three minor placings in a row. Tends to run fairly well from the draw but prefer the place this line-up.
