The Gardens Race 3 - Geoffrey Redden Digital Pix 1-3 Win
ZIPPING FINNEGAN (4) finished third on debut then ran a much improved race last start to claim his maiden win by 9 lengths (30.01) at this track. Safe beginner but has a tricky box to overcome. Ideally placed to take this out. ROSE VIOLET (1) has been settling off the speed lately, finishing sixth (26.80) last time in a Rank Limit - Restricted Win at Warragul. Comes out of a solid form race last start. Has the ability to give this a shake. HOT TO RULE (2) has mixed form recently, finishing fourth (30.78) in a Mix at this track latest but did run well two back when in the frame. Safe beginner and drawn well close to the inside. Key player on best and worth another try. LAST KEY (5) has definite claims at his first try at this journey.

Far too good last start to win by 9 lengths at this track over 515m (30.01) beating Indigo Pearl in Mix on July 24. Can make it back to back wins.

Has not shown much in recent runs. Could only manage seventh last time out over 515m at this track. Hard to have this time.
