The Gardens Race 6

Ladbrokes Quick Multi

Prize Money: $2,335

CLOSING MODEL (6) has shown good improvement at her last two starts, rewarded with a win last time at this track over 400m. Has good speed so she should be prominent despite the draw. Makes plenty of appeal on the back of that last-start win. SUNSHINE RHONDA (7) was prominent throughout when winning two back but could manage only midfield last time when 4th and beaten 10 lengths at this track (23.46). Form from her last run is proving to be solid. Should play a prominent role. MY OCTAVIUS (1) had been racing well without winning, recording three minors on end before copping a check in the run and finishing seventh in a Grade 5 at this track (23.70). Good beginner and aided by the inside draw. Can measure up this time. ALFIE'S POP (2) can play a role in the finish without surprising.

Suited by inside box. Latest effort finished 7th over 400m at this track beaten 13 lengths (23.70) behind Red Tape in a Grade 5 on September 18. Comes through a good form race. Looks a top chance.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage fifth last time out over 388m at Gosford. Others hold stronger claims.
