The Gardens Race 3

Racing Every Weekend In Newcastle

Prize Money: $2,655

SONGAR OSCAR (2) goes very well this course and distance starting 15 times for five wins and four minors. Scored by one length last time (23.03) in a Grade 4/5 over 400m at this track. Looks suited and should go close. ZIPPING VIVID (1) has missed the frame the last couple but just a few runs back pushed the clock when winning over 400m at this track, taking a NG in a sharp 22.84. Top win three back and rates a key player again. ZIPPING SCHRUB (6) has a terrific record this track and trip with three wins and two placings from five starts. Below best last time at Taree Super Track (17.92) in a NG, finishing a 10 length seventh. Looks well placed here and among the chances. LOCHINVAR GRACE (8) placed last time out at this track and distance - worth considering.

Solid performance after racing just off the speed to win by one length at this track over 400m (23.03) beating Sail Away Sam in Grade 4/5 on July 25. Strong form emerging from the that last run. Leading chance.

Good effort to win last start by 0.8 lengths over 400m at this track in a handy (22.87), beating Duran Queen. Will find this a bit tougher, hard to recommend this time.

Finished in the minors last time in a Grade 4 at this track when a 0.8 lengths second but did run a fast 22.93 over the 400m trip. This tougher but prefer for a place this time.

Ordinary effort last start when seventh over 300m at Taree Super Track. Prior to that won by 2.25 lengths at this track (22.63) beating Hello Chevy in a NG on September 5. Solid beginner who will be tough to beat with any luck from the tricky draw.
