The Gardens Race 8 - The Gardens To Wentworth Park Heat 3 H
ZIPPING FINNEGAN (7) ran below his best last time finishing fourth (30.07) over 520m at Wentworth Park in a Grade 5. Has a strong record here including two wins. Safe beginner but wide box to overcome and will need some luck. Has winning claims on his best figures. FAT FREDDY (1) finds it hard to break through. Hit the board with a minor placing last time when third (30.30) at Wentworth Park. Form from his last run is proving strong. Must be included in calculations. ARCTIC GLOW (2) was a last-start winner from the rails at Wentworth Park over 520m (30.05) after leading through, scoring by 6 lengths. Expecting another good run. CESSNOCK CURTAIN (8) is a last-start placegetter who should be thereabouts.

Fast starter. Produced a good effort last start to finish second on September 15 over 515m at Gosford behind Flat Out Freddy, beaten 2.5 lengths (29.69) in a Grade 5. Will be tested in this company.

Was out of placings last time (25.57) at Maitland in a Grade 5, finishing fifth and beaten 10 lengths. Still a maiden from this draw but has never missed the frame from two starts. Looks a place chance at best.

A speedy beginner who is back up to 515m which has been an issue in the past. Last appeared when fourth over 400m at Bulli a week-and-a-half ago. This looks too tough.

Hasn't been that impressive recently but he does have good record over this track and distance. Should prove hard to beat.
