The Gardens Race 3 - Christmas Parties At The Gardens
FLYING STRATUS (7) produced an impressive 22.67 to claim a Grade 5 over 400m at this track last start. Has the ability and expected to go close again. MISDIRECTION (2) finished well back at this track last time when a 12 length fifth (23.43) but scored four back at this track (23.08). Likely to be about the mark. VENATOR (6) had a tricky draw and ran well to finish second, beaten 1.5 lengths, (17.53) at Taree Super Track. Expected to be in this for a long way. ZIPPING OSAKA (5) is a last-start placegetter who should be thereabouts.

Was out of the placings last time but the start prior finished in the minors when second (22.58) at big odds over 388m at Gosford. Has the inside draw and is among the better hopes.

Last start finished 5th over 400m at this track beaten 12 lengths (23.43) behind Mighty Henry in a Grade 5 on November 6. Around the mark two starts back. Winning chance on that form.

Has not shown much in recent runs. Could only manage eighth last time out over 400m at Maitland. Hard to entertain this time.

Hit the ground running with a fast early sectional but found one better when runner up over 300m at Taree Super Track clocking 17.53. In the money last time and looks well placed to go one better.

Eye-catching performance leading throughout to score by 2.25 lengths in a Grade 5 last start at this track, clocking a hot 22.67 for the 400m trip. Expected to push the clock again here.
