The Gardens Race 4 - Racing Every Weekend In Newcastle

MODEST MAN (1) is a progressive type who recorded his 11th career win last time out (29.79) at Wentworth Park. Form here at this distance is sound. Has a strong record out of this box with three wins and two minor placings from five starts. Well placed and will be tough to beat. ZIPPING VIVID (2) has a strong record here with seven wins and five placings from 19 starts. Hit the frame latest (23.21) when third at this track in a Free For All. Makes strong appeal on best. HUNTERVIEW LAD (5) was well backed last start but ran below expectations when fifth (17.75), beaten 5 lengths. Good beginner but will need a little luck from a middle draw. One of the better chances. SEMI PEAKIN' (7) generally performs well here at this distance.

Hit the ground running with a slick early sectional but had to settle for a minor placing when a 4.5 lengths third over 400m at this track, clocking 23.21. Boxed on well at the latest run to hit the frame. Leading player.

Good effort to win last start by half a length over 388m at Gosford in a handy (22.45), beating Ibrox Maverick. Will find this a bit tougher, solid win last time out but this looks tough.
