The Gardens Race 8 - The Racecourse Hotel
SPARKLING WHEELS (2) was strongly fancied last time on the back of some superb recent form, including a two-run winning streak, but could only manage fourth (23.18) at this track. Rates on top in this line up. MISS ELPHABA (1) slotted in just off the lead from the wide box before lifting strongly to score (23.52) at this track in a Grade 5 over 400m. Significant danger. PATIENT VICKY (3) boasts a consistent overall record including five wins from 10 starts, the latest hitting the minor money when third (22.85) over 388m at Gosford. Form here at the trip excellent including two wins. Super consistent and can feature with the right run. ZIPPING TANAKA (5) has ability and looks a top-three prospect.
