The Gardens Race 3 - The Dovey's Dash
INNER WEST (1) jumped from out wide and was game in defeat last start when a one length second (23.09) behind Lisa's Vogue at this track. Sure to be about the mark. FIREBALL ZED (2) boasts strong form at this course and distance having won two times from three starts. Comes off a (15.96) win last time, scoring by 0.8 lengths in a Grade 4/5 over 272m at this track. Suited here and expected to run well. SHE WILL KICK (7) resumed in a Grade 5 at Gosford and finished fourth over 515m (30.05). Will be much improved. Strong form has emerged from her last run. A big run wouldn't surprise. I'M ALRIGHT (4) looks a top-three hope after a break.

Hit the ground running with a fast early sectional but found one better when runner up over 400m at this track clocking 23.09. Should prove hard to beat.

Strong performance after racing just off the speed to win by 0.8 lengths at this track over 272m (15.96) beating Champagne Bliss in Grade 4/5 on February 16. Makes plenty of appeal. Go close again.

Hasn't shown any early speed lately and drifts back in her races. Last start finished eighth over 272m at this track, beaten 9 lengths. This looks too tough.

Was out of placings last time (22.93) at Gosford in a Grade 5, finishing seventh and beaten 6 lengths. Fairly consistent record from the draw including a win and four minors. Others rate better this time.
