The Gardens Race 6

Grnsw Middle Distance Series

Prize Money: $9,000

PAY ME (1) has a strong record here with two wins and three placings from six starts. Placed last time (29.69) at this track in a Grade 4/5, finishing third and beaten 1.75 lengths. Appeals as a leading chance in this. MARTINI NIGHTS (6) wound up strongly to score two back then did the same last time but could manage only a placing, finishing on late when third (29.86) in a Grade 4/5 at Wentworth Park. Has good early speed and can overcome the tricky draw. Leading player again. REPELLENT (8) was out of placings last time (30.10) at Wentworth Park in a NG, finishing sixth and beaten 8 lengths. Has already won out of this draw. Looks well placed here and among the chances. MOTOR CITY MINI (2) cannot be dismissed although new to this distance.
