The Gardens Race 9 - Bishop Collins
ZIPPING HAGEN (1) was below latest but prior to that a Grade 3/4 winner in quick time (17.26) at Taree Super Track in a Grade 3/4. Will find this more suitable and can atone. HUNTERVIEW LAD (3) recorded a 2.25 lengths second in a Free For All last time 23.06 at this track and trip and also jumping from the same draw. Harder here but will be in this for a long way. JASPER DARKE (8) boasts a consistent overall record including 17 wins from 63 starts, the latest hitting the minor money when third (23.15) over 400m at this track. Solid record at the distance winning 15 races. Looks suited and expected to run well. BARRAMUNDI LOU (2) generally performs well here at this distance.

Won two starts back over 300m at Taree Super Track. Last start he finished 4th on July 10 over 400m at this track behind Lochinvar Grace beaten 4 lengths (23.16) in a Free For All. Draw likely to suit. Thereabouts of late and rates highly this line-up. Expected to be in the finish.

Flew the lids with a fast early split but had to contend with second when clocking 23.06 over 400m at this track. Found one better last time. Well placed and worth following up.

Safely held last time over 520m at Wentworth Park but was a 2.5 lengths winner two back over 400m at this track. Not one of the leading chances on this occasion.

Last run was an ordinary sixth over 300m at Taree Super Track following a win two back at Taree Super Track. Others have better credentials.

Won two starts back after racing on the pace at this track over 400m in 23.27. Followed that up with a minor placing over 400m at this track at Mix 3/4 a week ago. Doesn't profile as a likely winner.

Hit the ground running with a slick early sectional but had to settle for a minor placing when a 2.25 lengths third over 400m at this track, clocking 23.15. Leading chance who should prove hard to beat.
