The Gardens Race 3 - Ladbrokes Quick Multi Maiden
DARLEY BOY (1) is a handily bred pup making his debut without a trial. Looks a key player and can make an immediate impact. NATE'S LAD (7) showed blistering pace early and gave a sight when in the minors, beaten a nose over 400m Maitland in 22.73. Nicely placed to grab a well-deserved win. WHY NOT ME (6) was safely held on debut after settling well back when sixth (19.34) at Richmond over 320m. Much improved and rates a winning chance. GOLDILOCKS GORT (2) placed last time at this track and distance - worth some thought.

Modest effort last time out when fourth over 400m at this track. Happy enough to avoid.

Last start was on debut when she finished last over 320m at Richmond beaten 10 lengths (19.34) behind All On Barney in a Maiden on December 10. Coming out of a very strong form race. Expected to go well.

Has been in the minors the last two, the latest showing strong pace early but gathered in and finished a nose second over 400m Maitland in 22.73. Key chance on best form.

Hasn't shown anything recently, all starting at big odds. Not one of the leading chances on this occasion.
