The Gardens Race 1 - @Thegardensgrnsw Masters

POCKET POINT (4) has performed well at her last couple of runs here, most recently when third beaten one length (22.98). Form from her last run is proving strong. Rates highly and will give a great sight. STARLIGHT DUKE (1) missed the frame and was safely held latest finishing 8th at this track following on from a second place finish (23.25) there the start prior. Solid record here at the distance winning two races. Goes well out of this box with a win and four minor placings. Should be about the money. BRAVE CHOICE (8) turned in a plain performance last time when sixth at this track over 400m behind Stop It Zipper (23.48) in a Grade 4/5. Was in the money the start prior. The form out of the last run is proven to be strong. Key runner on best form. GREAT NORTH (2) is in the mix despite missing out at this track last time.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (24.03) in a Grade 5, finishing a 15 length eighth. Goes well out of this box with a win and four minors. Looks suited and should go close.

Back from a three-and-a-half months spell and last resumed over 400m at this track where she was in the placings, finishing third. Coming out of a very strong form race. Expected to go well.

Found trouble in the run at this course and distance last time and failed to finish before heading out for a four-and-a-half months spell. No luck latest but this looks tough and prefer the place.

Could only manage sixth last time but the start prior hit the frame at double figure odds when third (23.41) over 400m at this track. Has a wide draw to navigate but in the mix on his best form.
