The Gardens Race 2 - Robert Smith Memorial Maiden Heats Feb 7
FIREBALL NIGHT (2) flew the lids off the inside draw with a fast early split last time and went on to clock 22.30 when a 3 length winner over 388m at Gosford. Winner at his latest appearance in one of the quickest times on the card. Makes plenty of appeal if runs up to latest. KEYLIN (8) took advantage of the inside draw and gave a big sight in front when second and beaten 0.8 lengths (17.48) at Taree Super Track in a Mix 1/2/3 over 300m. Overdue and is among the main hopes. YOUNG ENERGY (5) stalked the lead from a middle draw and boxed on well to finish 4.5 lengths back in third (22.39) at Gosford in a Grade 3/4 over 388m. Has a solid record from this box including two wins and a minor placing. Must be included in calculations. GOLDEN GORT (3) deserves plenty of thought over this journey.

Didn't make the placings last time at Gosford (23.10) in a Grade 5, finishing a 11 length eighth. Goes well out of this box with a win and eight minors. Has ability and should be around the money.

Needs to do more than recent efforts, the latest a seventh over 388m at Gosford. Doesn't profile as a likely winner.

Big odds last time but hit the ground running with a strong early split, giving a sight but fading only late to finish second (17.48) at Taree Super Track over 300m. Speedy conveyance who looks hard to beat.

Facing tougher opposition than she has faced recent starts and current form just not to what is required to figure. Needs to do more. Others better.
