The Gardens Race 5 - Happy Birthday Igor Brkic 1-3 Win
FLYING MONKEY'S (2) has been in super consistent form, finishing in the minors at his last four runs. Last time finished 2nd over 400m at this track beaten 4.5 lengths (23.49) behind Pirate Riot in a Grade 5 on October 24. Ready to find winning form. ZIPPING LYNDY (4) turned in a plain performance last time when seventh at this track over 400m behind Pearl Shiraz (24.35) in a Grade 5. Was a winner prior to that. Great chance to atone. JET FUEL (5) was below best last time but prior to that was narrowly beaten when fourth (22.53) in a Grade 5 at Maitland. Can improve sharply here. ARMATREE FREDDO (7) comes back from a let-up as a top three prospect.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage seventh last time out over 400m at this track. Cannot enthuse on this occasion.

Produced a good run, hitting the frame last run (23.49) at this track in a Grade 5. Has first look at box 2 this time. Should have the speed for this.

Won two starts back when well in the market at this track over 400m. Last start finished 7th over 400m at this track beaten 14 lengths (24.35) behind Pearl Shiraz in a Grade 5 on October 24. Capable of a strong show.

Missed the frame last time but finished in the minors at big odds two back when third (22.53) over 400m at Maitland. Tricky draw to overcome but is in the mix.

Could only manage seventh last time but placed two on end prior to that, the latest when third (22.70) over 388m at Gosford. Has a wide draw to navigate and prefer each-way.
