The Gardens Race 2 - The Lids Fly Hosted Pots
PAPER SHREDDER (1) jumped from a squeeze box last start but was quickly into stride and led throughout to score (22.73) at this track in a Grade 4/5 over 400m. Goes very well from this draw with five wins and four minor placings from 11 starts. Looks the one to beat. STOP IT ZIPPER (2) is a talented type and proved too classy last time to win by 2 lengths at this track in a handy 22.96 beating Make Your Stand. The form out of his last race has been franked. One of the key runners again. MAEVE BABY (4) comes off a solid 22.84 placing at this track over 400m. Harder here but expected to measure up. DAPHNE ZACAPA (7) should be thereabouts after filling a top-three spot in a fast run most recently.

Good performance after tracking the speed to post a big 3.5 lengths win at this track over 400m (23.08) beating Katie's Quick in Grade 5 on February 16. Predicted to struggle on this occasion.

Nearing another win after her success on January 23 at this track over 400m. Last start was second over 400m in 22.89, behind Paper Shredder. Should be around the mark.

Jumped safely when finishing eighth over 300m at Taree Super Track. Won an easier race the start before that at this track. Prepared to risk.
