The Gardens Race 5 - Up The Knights 1-2 Win
HIGH DEGREES (3) has been in the minors the last two, the latest showing strong pace early but gathered in and finished a 3.5 lengths second over 388m Gosford in 22.43. Likely to feature again. FRANKIE'S ANGEL (4) box seated before sticking on well to finish 4.5 lengths away in third (23.18) at this track in a Grade 5 over 400m. Winning chance. JILLY HILL (8) was responsible for a modest effort most recently when seventh at Gosford over 388m behind Reborn Passion (23.03) in a Grade 5. Deserves plenty of respect. GIDDY UP GLADYS (2) has ability and finds the right scenario to bounce back.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage fifth last time out over 400m at this track. Prefer to watch at this stage.

Big odds last time but hit the ground running with a strong early split, giving a sight but fading only late to finish third (23.18) at this track over 400m. More than capable and has to be included.

Lines up from box 6 for the first time after finishing a 15 length eighth at Gosford (23.57) in a Grade 5. Others appear better placed.
