The Gardens Race 6 - David Konik, As We Know Him Memorial 1-3 Win
REAL BONNIE (1) has a strong winning strike-rate here having won two of four starts. Recorded a 9 length win (29.50) in a Grade 5 last time at Gosford. Looks well placed and should feature. HELLO AERIAL (2) wasn't far away at the finish when 4th and beaten only 3.5 lengths (30.88) at Gunnedah. Yet to win out of this box but has been in the placings three times from four starts. Warrants plenty of respect. PINK VENOM (7) recorded her best time this course and distance latest, finishing a 2.5 lengths third behind Soft Whisper in 30. In form and must include in calculations. PULL THE TRIGGER (4) was out of the money at this circuit last start but can atone.

Impressive performance to post a big 9 lengths win at Gosford over 515m (29.50) beating Hello Aerial in Grade 5 on February 10. The one to beat again.

Was out of placings last time (30.88) at Gunnedah in a Grade 5, finishing fourth and beaten 3.5 lengths. Has three placings from four starts from the draw. Has ability and looks a key chance.

Has finished fourth at her last three starts, most recently over 400m at this track. Not one of the leading chances on this occasion.

Won two starts back at this track over 400m in 23.16. Followed that up with a minor placing over 400m at this track at Grade 5 five days ago. Hard to tip with any confidence.
