The Gardens Race 9 - Sires On Ice
SAIL AWAY SAM (2) goes very well this trip starting 15 times for five wins and five minors. Was out of placings last time (30.24) at this track in a Grade 5, finishing sixth and beaten 8 lengths. Rates on top and should go close. KALANI SEA (6) was a last start winner (23.15) at this track who is building a strong winning record. In sparkling form and expected to measure up again. PHYSICALITY (1) was unfavoured last start but led all the way to score by a nose (23.17) at this track in a Grade 5 over 400m. Has hit winning form and can go on with it. WRECK IT REX (4) is worth another chance despite missing the top-three here most recently.
