The Gardens Race 2 - @Justmates_
ZIPPING SCHRUB (1) goes very well this trip starting 13 times for seven wins and three minors. In the money last time at Q Lakeside (25.88) in a Grade 5, finishing a 7 length third. Looks suited here and rates on top. WRECK IT REX (7) was beaten for speed from wide out but attacked the line strongly to place, a nose from the winner (23.13) at this track in Grade 5. Has performed well from this box with a win and three minor placings to his name from six starts. Expected to feature again. BROADWAY KING (2) crossed over from out wide but caught the leaders turning before drawing clear to score (22.84) at Maitland in a Grade 5 over 400m. Has performed well from this box with a win and two minor placings to his name from four starts. Expected to measure up again. SEMI PEAKIN' (5) form at this distance reads well.

Missed the frame last start when a 13 length seventh (23.66) at this track. Previous form sound including a win three back at this track. Has ability but will need everything to go right.

Hit the ground running and set it up early clocking 23.19 with a 1.75 lengths win at this track over 400m. Can go well again with the right run.
