The Gardens Race 5 - The Cheeto Heats - March 14

FEDERAL PLAYER (6) is a talented type who notched his 12th career success when too good (22.36) at this track last time. Has an impeccable record here at this journey. Winner at his latest appearance in the quickest time on the card. Form reads well for this. CHOPPER EXPRESS (3) was below best at his last start when 7th at Wentworth Park following a win (30.22) at Taree Super Track two back. Has a strong winning record here at this journey. Strong form has emerged from his last run. Better than last start and can bounce back. BARRAMUNDI LOU (1) was responsible for a modest effort most recently when sixth at Taree Super Track over 300m behind Songar Oscar (17.65) in a NG. Was in the money prior to that. Solid formlines coming through his last run. Has ability and a bold showing is expected. MY MACHINE (2) was in the money last time at Gosford (22.10) in a NG, finishing a 2.5 lengths second. Has already won two times from this draw.

Won two starts back when well in the market at Taree Super Track over 525m. Last start finished 7th over 520m at Wentworth Park beaten 11 lengths (30.64) behind O'keefe in a Grade 5 on February 7. Strong form emerging from the that last run. Leading chance.

Missed the frame latest (23.41) when eighth over 400m at this track in a Free For All. Yet to miss the frame from four starts from the draw, including two wins. Tough field and looking to others this time.

Talented type with an excellent strike rate at this journey. Has been prominent in the run and duly saluted at his last couple, most recently over 400m at this track in a handy 22.36 beating Jasper Darke. Has run very fast time at this course and distance. Go close on his best form.

Good effort last time when second (23.08) over 400m at this track. Jumps from a wide draw. Looking to others.

Didn't make the placings last time at Gosford (22.41) in a NG, finishing a 7 length fourth. Has performed well off the draw with a win and six places from eight starts. Has ability but looking elsewhere this time.
