The Gardens Race 12

Christmas Parties At The Gardens

Prize Money: $2,335

ARMATREE ASAFA (6) turned spotting a big start finishing fifth (30.08) last time in a Grade 4/5 at this track. Goes well out of this box with a win and three minor placings. Key runner on his best form. IRISH LAD (7) looks close to another win after finishing second last time (17.78) at Taree Super Track. Will go close here with a clear run. DAKILA (1) struggled to get involved last start after drifting back at Gosford, but prior to that won comfortably by 3.5 lengths at this track (22.89) beating Lacy Sarah in a Grade 5 on September 25. Form from her last run is proving to be solid. One of the better chances. SHE'S WATCHING (2) is a last-start placegetter who will have admirers.

Last start finished last in a Grade 5 on September 29 over 388m at Gosford behind Lacy Sarah beaten 23 lengths (24.20). Should prove hard to beat.

Good effort at double-figure odds last time when third (17.90) over 300m at Taree Super Track. Has a low draw. Top-three aspirations.

Returns from a ten weeks spell after being tipped out on the back of a fifth (23.91) over 400m at this track. Looks to have the job ahead.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (30.08) in a Grade 4/5, finishing a 8 length fifth. Goes well out of this box with a win and three minors. With a clean break looks hard to beat.

Could only manage fourth last time but placed two on end prior to that, the latest when third (18.00) over 300m at Taree Super Track. Boxed out wide and will need everything to go her way.
