The Gardens Race 5 - The Racecourse Hotel 0-4 Win
ZIPPING PERCAT (2) dropped out early but hit the line hard, charging into third and beaten 4 lengths win (29.81) at this track in Grade 5. Although beaten ran one of the quickest times on the card last start. Overdue and expected to feature again. ZIPPING CRUELLA (3) settled down midfield and held her position to the line when finishing 5th (30.24) at Wentworth Park. Worth following up. TARAWI MALIBU (8) returned a better run last time, finishing in the money (29.76) at Gosford behind Exorbitant in a Grade 5. Settled off speed and worked to the line nicely. Bold showing expected. PINK VENOM (4) should be thereabouts despite an unplaced run here most recently.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage fifth last time out over 515m at this track. Looks up against it this time.

Having his first start over this trip. Last start finished third at this track over 515m in (29.81). With some luck and a clean start should figure in the finish.

Latest effort finished 5th on May 16 over 520m at Wentworth Park behind Vintage Glow beaten 4 lengths (30.24) in a Grade 5. Has been racing well. Well placed here and looks a leading contender.
