The Gardens Race 5 - The Ladbrokes 715 Heat 1 H

MAGPIE HECTOR (4) is a consistent runner who is new to this track. Strong winner last time by 2.25 lengths at Wentworth Park in NG in the quickest time on the program (41.51). Recorded the quickest time on the card last start. Looks to have an edge on most of these. POWER SQUEEZE (2) shapes as hard to beat after winning last start over the 720m at Wentworth Park in a decent 42.05. Harder here but expected to measure up. LATE NIGHT NEWS (1) is better than last start when seventh (35.55) in a NG at Dubbo over 605m. Strong form has emerged from his last run. One of the better hopes. MEPUNGA BREEZE (3) is right in the mix.

Found some support last start but struggled and finished 4th over 730m at The Meadows beaten 5.5 lengths (43.01) behind Slick Nitro in a Grade 5 on April 18. Placed two back at The Meadows. Should be around the mark.

Missed the frame last time but was in the minors two on end prior to that, the most recent when third (30.04) over 520m at Wentworth Park. Tough draw to overcome and needs to find best form to feature.
