The Gardens Race 1 - @Thegardensgrnsw Maiden
FEED THE METER (8) Came in 3rd last start here and having second career run. Will be positive in the run early. Gets a favourable draw. Is in good order and can run well. SPITFIRE GEORGE (4) Having first race start for trainer Meredith Verhagen. Watch the betting. LOLA'S CHOICE (7) Lost ground in the run home when 8th last time here and coming back in trip. Can surprise and by no means out of it. SHE'S A BIRD (6) Was outmatched at the end of the race when 2nd last time at the track in 16.31s over 272m and displaying improvement over the past few runs. Cracking each way value.

Odds of $35.00 and didn't threaten when 7th last start at this venue but gets the perfect trap. Should be going forward early. Considering others.

First run back from a break. Started $8.50 and faded away to finish 8th last start at Richmond Straight but was a debutant last start. Take on trust.

Back after spell. Started at $20.00 and folded up in the straight when 7th last time at Richmond Straight. Should muster plenty of early speed. Prefer a return to something a lot easier.

Honest run on the speed before fading to finish 2nd last time at this venue in 16.31s over 272m and form has been improving over recent runs. Marginal prospect.

Nice run when 3rd last start at this venue and having second race start. Should race on the speed. Has a good draw. Worth strong consideration.
