The Gardens Race 5 - I Know An Oven Guy Sprint 1-3 Win
BLAZING BLUE ICE (1) box seated before sticking on well to finish 5 lengths away in third (22.92) at this track in a Grade 5 over 400m. Good form should continue. ANY ACE BRONTE (2) has been in the money at her last two runs, most recently when second (29.84) in a Grade 5 over 515m at this track. Can feature with the right run. BEAR'S HEAD (3) was in traffic and fell last time at Maitland but was a Grade 5 winner (25.23) the start prior. Must include in calculations. JET FUEL (8) is one of the chances after a surprise minor prize last time.

Flew the lids with a fast early split last time, hitting the frame with a 2.5 lengths second (29.84) over 515m at this track and making it two placings on end. Yet to win but has been in the money three times from six starts off this box. Right in the mix.

Won two starts back when well in the market at Maitland over 450m. Last start failed to finish the race over 450m at Maitland on February 2. Has ability and worth including.

Backs up after winning easily by 7 lengths at Gosford (30.05) beating Heavy Bound in a Mix on February 17 four days ago. This is much harder assignment and he needs to find another gear.
