The Gardens Race 5 - Greyhoundproductsdirect.com.au
JASPER DARKE (2) boasts a strong record this journey with 13 wins and 15 minors from 35 tries. Hit the frame latest (22.84) when second at this track in a NG. Looks a key chance on best form. AUSSIE'S THUNDER (8) produced a modest effort most recently when sixth at Gosford over 388m behind Tickets Please (22.90) in a NG. Was a winner the start prior. The form out of the last run is proven to be strong. Great chance to atone. MY MACHINE (5) is a well performed dog who recorded his 11th career win last time out at Gosford (22.21). Has never missed the frame here at the trip from six starts. Deserves serious consideration again.

Finished in the minors last time in a NG at this track when a 6 length second but did run a good 22.84 over the 400m journey. Has the ability and looks a key chance again.

Flew the lids with a fast early split but ran over at the finish when a narrow fourth (22.32) over 388m at Gosford. Prepared to overlook.

Recorded a nose win (22.21) in a NG last time at Gosford. Yet to miss the frame from four starts from the draw, including two wins. Makes appeal on best.

Won two starts back when well in the market at Gosford over 388m. Last start finished 6th over 388m at Gosford beaten 14 lengths (22.90) behind Tickets Please in a NG on February 17. The form from his last run is stacking up nicely. Follow up.
