The Gardens Race 11 - Sires On Ice Black Top Heat 6 H
FEDERAL PLAYER (7) is unbeaten here in 10 starts. Recorded a 1.5 lengths win (22.47) in a NG last time at Richmond. Appeals as a leading chance in this. MARTINI NIGHTS (1) is worth forgiving last start after finishing seventh (30.62) from Box 6 at Wentworth Park over 520m. Strong form has emerged from his last run. Better than the latest run and deserves another chance. BLINK AND MISS (3) was out of placings last time (26.49) at Temora in a NG, finishing eighth and beaten 18 lengths. Unbeaten in three runs from this draw. Looks a key chance on best figures. HELLO PECK (6) will have admirers after placing last time out.

Didn't finish two back and couldn't make the frame last time when he finished 7th over 520m at Wentworth Park beaten 10 lengths (30.62) behind Mick Boots in a Grade 5 on September 5. The form out of the last run measures up. Hard to beat.

Found some support last start but struggled and finished last on September 6 over 457m at Temora behind Storm Hustler beaten 18 lengths (26.49) in a NG. Placed two back at Healesville. Yet to be beaten in three starts out of this draw. Sure to go well.

Missed the frame latest (25.28) when sixth over 450m at Maitland in a NG. Box stats strong with three wins and two placings from six starts. Has ability but looking elsewhere this time.

Showed strong pace early but found one better when a 7 length second over 515m Gosford in 30.06. In the money last time and looks well placed. Can go one better.

Solid performance to win by 1.5 lengths at Richmond over 401m (22.47) beating Absconding in NG on September 4. The form from last run stacks up well. Hard to beat.
