The Gardens Race 3 - Happy Hour Fridays 4-6Pm
SEMI PEAKIN' (3) stalked lead from an outside box last start before finishing second (22.32) at Maitland in a Grade 5 over 400m. Recorded one of the quickest times on the card last start despite being beaten. Can find winning form. MISS TWIX (4) finished in the minors last time but the start prior broke the clock when winning over 300m at Taree Super Track, taking a Grade 5 in an enormous 17.28. Expected to feature on best figures. ZIPPING LARGO (2) did a good job to finish second last time out over 365m at Nowra (21.02) in a Grade 5, the second top-three finish on the trot. Can hit the frame this time. STORMY LANE (1) is another with top-three prospects.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage sixth last time out over 515m at this track. Prepared to overlook.
