The Gardens Race 6 - The Shorty Hotel
SLICK SAND (1) was game in defeat at the latest run, finishing second and beaten a nose (23.04) behind Extreme Blue at this track. Must come into calculations. MODEST MAN (4) slotted in just off the lead from the wide draw last start and boxed on to finish third (25.38) at Grafton in a NG over 450m. Has a strong record out of this box with two wins and two minor placings from five starts. Expected to be in the finish again. LIPSCHITZ (3) broke from the inside draw and filled a minor placing last start, beaten only 0.8 lengths (17.62) behind Federal Mercury at Taree Super Track. Hard to beat again. SUNSHINE RHONDA (2) gets a chance to redeem an unplaced effort here last start.

Inside draw could be an advantage. Last start finished sixth on July 10 over 400m at this track behind Minter Mulwee, beaten 3.5 lengths (23.61) in a Grade 5. Must be included.

Sent out long odds last time but rocketed out of the boxes with a fast early sectional and gave a sight before being swallowed up late, finishing a 1.3 lengths third (25.38) over 450m at Grafton. Has an exceptional 22.75 best time at this course and distance. Big chance.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (23.32) in a Mix 3/4, finishing a 1.5 lengths fifth. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed three times. Looks a place chance at best.

Won two starts back at this track over 400m in 23.10. Couldn't repeat the feat last time out when sixth over 400m at this track at Grade 5 level. Shouldn't trouble the top few hopes.

Has struggled to jump cleanly in recent outings and the results have been disappointing, the most recent effort a eighth over 400m at this track. Others preferred.

At the last start finished last over 300m at Taree Super Track beaten 11 lengths (18.30) behind True Blue Billy in a Grade 5 on July 15. Can bounce back. One of the main chances.
