The Gardens Race 5 - The Shorty Hotel
ULTRA SPECIAL (1) Strong performance to win last run at this venue and drawn beautifully. On an upward trajectory in recent races. Looks promising in this race. SAVINA (7) Came in 5th last run here. Has the talent to rebound quickly but down in distance. Will be trying to topple them late. Good prospects. FAITH IN CAEDEN (8) Ran 5th last start at Richmond Straight. Expecting improvement and will try to take advantage of the box. Will be positive in the run early. A win wouldn't surprise. CLEGANE (5) Racing fresh after a break. Ran home strongly last run at Angle Park in 20.44s over 342m but back to a shorter distance. Genuine winning chance.
