The Gardens Race 5 - Lean On Me Lewie
MODEST MAN (4) boasts a strong record this course with five wins and seven minors from 14 tries. Missed the frame latest (31.07) when seventh over 525m at Taree Super Track in a NG. Looks well placed and should feature. SAHARA PEARL (1) recorded three placings in a row before an overdue win last time, scoring by 2 lengths (29.86) at this track. Reliable out of the boxes and should take advantage of the inside draw. Should be in this for a long way. RATTLIN' BYE (3) had been racing in honest fashion recording five placings in a row before finishing fourth (22.75) at Maitland latest. Solid record here winning seven races. Safe beginner who has drawn to advantage. Should be about the money. GEORGE JUDY (2) is worth consideration.

Had been racing in honest fashion, recording five placings in a row, before finishing fourth (22.75) at Maitland last start. Has a low draw but looks a each way chance only this field.

Missed the frame latest (31.07) when seventh over 525m at Taree Super Track in a NG. Has never missed the placings from three starts off this box. With a clean break looks hard to beat.

Missed the frame last start when a 4 length fifth (22.57) at Gosford. Previous form sound including a win three back at Gosford. Has ability but will need the right run to feature here.

Has not shown much in recent runs. Could only manage fourth last time out over 515m at this track. Prepared to risk on this occasion.

Country racer who only starts fairly, coming off mixed results. Was 5th last start over 525m at Taree Super Track (31.63) beaten 18 lengths, behind Simplicity Magic in Grade 5 on April 8. Tempted to look elsewhere.
