The Gardens Race 1 - @Thegardensgrnsw Maiden
FEED THE METER (8) boxed on well to finish third last time, beaten 1.5 lengths (15.94) behind Sketchy Get In at this track. Comes through a solid form race last start. Makes plenty of appeal. BLUE WIGGLE (1) turned in a plain run last time when seventh at this track over 272m behind Vinnie Zacapa (16.74) in a Maiden. Expected to give a good account. HE'S A MENACE (3) has been freshened since being safely held on debut at Richmond Straight over 324m (19.55). Can improve sharply here. OUR RED SHADOW (2) will run well despite no experience on this track.

Finished off last campaign with a eighth (23.93) in a MDN at Gosford five months ago. Expect her to be prominent.

Returns from a six months spell after being tipped out on the back of a eighth (19.55) over 324m at Richmond Straight. Expected to feature prominently.

First starter by Sunset Spitfire from Push Me. From the Meredith Verhagen kennel. Might pay to watch for a market push.

First two runs have been average, the latest a seventh over 324m at Richmond Straight. Looks well placed and can improve.

Has finished last in her last couple of starts, most recently at this track over 400m. Would be better placed in something easier.

Ran nicely on debut when jumped well and raced on pace, holding on to finish third (15.94) at this track over 272m. Comes through a good form race. Looks a top chance.
