The Gardens Race 3 - Geoffrey Redden Digital Pix
AUNT BRANDY (1) pinged the lids from this draw last time and led throughout to win (23.25) at this track over 400m in a Grade 5. Can continue the winning form. BLACK DAZZLER (3) is progressing well with another good run, placing by 2.25 lengths (17.60) in a Grade 5 at Taree Super Track. Must be included in calculations. LOST COMPASS (2) was game in defeat off the inside draw last start, finishing second and beaten a nose (23.29) behind My Octavius at this track. Boasts two wins from four starts out of this box. Expected to be in the finish again. HUXLEY'S ROCKET (7) was strongly fancied last time on the back of some superb recent form, including a two-run winning streak, but could only manage second (23.26) at this track.

Flew the lids with a fast early split and went on to clock 23.25 when a 1.5 lengths winner over 400m at this track. Had been in fine form, hitting the frame two times on end, before a deserved win last time. Can go on with it.

Strongly fancied last time and hit the ground running with a slick early split, giving a sight but could manage only third (17.60) at Taree Super Track over 300m. In form and can return to the winners' list.

Has hit the frame the last two starts, the latest when third (23.82) over 411m at Casino. Will need a little luck early from the draw. Prefer others.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage sixth last time out over 400m at this track. Hard to recommend this time.

Won two starts back after racing on the pace at this track over 400m in 23.20. Followed that up with a minor placing over 400m at this track at Grade 5 eight days ago. Has the ability to be in the finish.
