The Gardens Race 5 - The Shorty Hotel
HELLO CHEVY (3) rocketed out of the boxes with a strong early sectional but gathered in and finished in the minors when second (22.09) at Gosford over 388m. Smart beginner who should take advantage of the low draw. Can find winning form. REBORN PASSION (8) has a strong overall record having never missed the frame and boasts three wins from five starts including a last start success (23.04) over 400m at this track. Best form too dangerous to ignore. Have to include. LIPSCHITZ (1) has been settling off the speed lately, finishing fourth (17.93) last time in a Grade 5 at Taree Super Track. Good beginner assisted by the inside draw. Should be in this for a long way. MR. SPECKLE (2) cannot be written off despite a miss here at his latest outing.

Fast starter. Last start finished 4th in a Grade 5 on August 12 over 300m at Taree Super Track behind Lunar Moon beaten 6 lengths (17.93). Good beginner and should go close off the inside draw.

Missed the frame last time but was in the minors two on end prior to that, the most recent when second (23.18) at big odds over 400m at this track. Aided by a low draw but will need everything to go his way.

Was among the placegetters latest at Gosford when a 3.5 lengths second but did clock a brilliant 22.09 over the 388m journey. Looms as the one to beat this time.

Didn't finish two back and couldn't make the frame last time when she finished 7th on August 8 over 400m at this track behind Duran Queen beaten 12 lengths (23.82) in a Grade 5. Will not find this easy. Not keen.

Fast starter. Produced a good effort last start to finish fifth on August 11 over 515m at Gosford behind Ramjet, beaten 2.5 lengths (30.09) in a Grade 5. Can't enthuse on this occasion.

Good performance to win by 1.75 lengths at this track over 400m (23.11) beating Left Till Last in Maiden on August 7. Has hit winning form and is worth thought again.
