The Gardens Race 6

Greyhound Products Direct 1-2 Win

Prize Money: $2,335

BELLA ZEST (1) is worth forgiving last start after finishing seventh (18.18) in a Grade 5 at Taree Super Track over 300m. Can bounce back. FEED THE METER (4) has shown good improvement at her last two starts, finishing in the money last time when 3rd at this track over 400m. Yet to score from this box but has never missed the frame in three starts. Must be included in calculations. US TWO BOYS (7) gave a start after copping a check in running and missed the frame when a 8 length fifth (23.84) at this track in a Grade 5. Bold showing expected on best. KILCOY PEARL (2) must be respected despite an unplaced effort here most recently.

Won two starts back over 300m at Taree Super Track. Last start she finished 7th in a Grade 5 on August 26 over 300m at Taree Super Track behind Bad Girl River beaten 5.5 lengths (18.18). Draw likely to suit. Should prove hard to beat.
