The Gardens Race 1 - @Thegardensgrnsw
SONGAR OSCAR (1) promising type who notched his 7th career success when too good (17.16) at Taree Super Track last time. Has never missed the frame at the trip from five starts. Drawn the fence and expected to go close. LARNIE'S MAGIC (8) is a fast dog well performed over the sprint races. Kept coming to finish fourth over 388m at Gosford (22.52) latest in a Grade 3/4. Form at the trip strong including one wins. Safe beginner but wide box to overcome and will need some luck. Key runner who gets her chance to atone. YOUNG ENERGY (6) has a fair record and proved too strong last time to win by 0.8 lengths at this track in a handy 15.92 beating DIVA'S DELIGHT. The form out of her last race has been franked. Can measure up again. RAINING BOURBON (2) is worth consideration after filling a hole at this course and distance last start.

Flew the lids with a sensational early split and went on to clock 17.16 when a 0.8 lengths winner over 300m at Taree Super Track. Comes out of a hot form race. Worth following up.

Form has been solid with minor placings at his last three starts. Last time out finished 3rd over 272m at this track beaten 3 lengths (15.87) behind Miss Arizona in a Grade 4/5 on May 15. Has been racing well enough. Among the chances.

Good effort to win last start by 1.5 lengths over 272m at this track in a handy (15.82), beating Nature Boy. Will find this a bit tougher, not among the main chances this time.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage eighth last time out over 272m at this track. This looks too tough.

Missed the frame latest (22.52) when fourth over 388m at Gosford in a Grade 3/4. Goes very well from the draw boasting one victory and two places from five starts. Key chance and should go close.
