The Gardens Race 7 - The Legendary Ken Cheetham
WEFFALEE LEE LEE (1) flew the lids from the middle with a slick turn of foot before finishing second (29.82) and beaten a neck over 520m at Wentworth Park. Makes plenty of appeal. MODEST MAN (3) goes very well this course and distance starting 13 times for five wins and six minors. Hit the frame latest (25.45) when third at Grafton in a Grade 4/5. Looks suited here and can measure up. ALI TANGO (7) has a strong record this trip with 16 wins and 10 placings from 46 starts. Missed the frame latest (30.69) when sixth over 520m at Wentworth Park in a NG. Looks one of the chances. STAR (8) is in form and worth thought again.

Got back last start and could only manage fourth but before that won by 1.5 lengths at this track (29.93) beating Pirate Riot in a Grade 4/5 on February 27. Needs to find a bit more to test these.

Latest effort finished 3rd in a Grade 4/5 on March 17 over 450m at Grafton behind Star beaten 4 lengths (25.45). Has an exceptional 29.45 best time at this course and distance. Big chance.

Backs up after winning by 0.8 lengths at Gosford (29.80) beating Weffalee Shield in a Mix 1/2/3 on March 17 four days ago. This is much harder assignment and she needs to find another gear.

Resumes from a three-and-a-half months spell and was a winner at only other fresh up run, scoring in 29.68 over 515m at this track. Not keen this time.

Hasn't threatened at his last couple but he goes well over this track and distance with six wins from seven starts. Boasts a course and distance PB in a dazzling 29.13. Must include.

Eye-catching performance showing plenty of speed to score by 2.25 lengths in a Grade 4/5 last start at Grafton, clocking a brilliant 25.18 for the 450m trip. Among the chances if runs up to latest.
