The Gardens Race 6

Racing Every Weekend In Newcastle

Prize Money: $2,655

KILCOY TIGER (8) is a talented type and proved too classy last time to win by 3.5 lengths at this track in a handy 22.96 beating Zipping Deloris. Ran one of the fastest times on the program in his latest win. Well placed and will be tough to beat. CREEPING TIGER (2) has shown good improvement at his last two starts, most recently finishing 2nd at Bulli over 340m. Didn't win last time but still ran one of the quickest times on the card. Can measure up. FASCINATE VERN (1) had been racing well with a NG win three back then placed next time before missing the frame latest at this track. This looks easier and expected to improve sharply. SAIL AWAY SAM (3) is not to be discarded.

Comments

Missed the frame last start when sixth but had been in strong form prior to that, winning two on end before placing two back. Makes plenty of appeal on best and can easily atone here.

Has hit the frame the last couple. Finished second at Bulli latest but prior to that recorded a sharp 22.43 over 400m finishing third at Bulli. Expected to push the clock again here.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (23.49) in a Free For All, finishing a 9 length sixth. Fairly consistent record from the draw including a win and two minors. Among the main chances.

Showed good improvement when third behind Laurie's Ferrari at this track last start over 400m (23.54). Has to be respected.

Was out of placings last time (30.31) at this track in a Grade 4/5, finishing fifth and beaten 6 lengths. Has two wins and three placings from nine starts from the draw. Suited here and expected to run well.
