The Gardens Race 3 - The Cheeto Heat 2 H
HOUSIE BOB (1) stuck on well last time to finish one length back in third (23.15) at this track in a Grade 4/5 over 400m. The form out of his last race has been franked. Sure to be about the mark. KISS AND RUN (2) goes very well this course and distance starting six times for two wins and two minors. In the money last time at this track (22.88) in a Grade 5, finishing a 0.8 lengths second. Looks well placed here and among the chances. SHANGHAI SPY (6) was out of the placings last time but shapes well for this on her exceptional win a few runs back, getting around Maitland over 400m in 22.35. Top win three back and can measure up again. VINTAGE RACER (3) generally performs well over this distance.
