The Gardens Race 9 - Newcastle Knights Middle Distance Series
COUSIN SAL (4) rises 80m in distance at his first attempt over the longer trip. Goes well from this draw despite never having won. Rates a leading player. NANGAR CHARM (7) was out of the placings last time but shapes well for this on his dominant win a few runs back, getting around Wentworth Park over 520m in 29.66. Top win three back and rates a key player again. WEST ROCK CASEY (8) should enjoy clear running from the outside box. Below best latest at this track (43.23) when 8th and beaten 19 lengths. Form here at this distance is strong including zero wins. One of the better hopes. ZIG ZAG MAN (2) is in the mix despite missing out at this track last time.

Finished in the minors last time but the start prior was an eye-catching winner after leading throughout, scoring by 2 lengths in a Grade 4/5 at Taree Super Track. Will need to find best form.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (42.62) in a NG, finishing a 5 length fourth. Goes very well off the draw boasting three wins and three places from seven starts. Can hit the frame with the right run.

Missed the frame latest (30.43) when fifth over 520m at Wentworth Park in a Grade 5. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed two times. Has ability and looks a key chance.

Out of the placings last time but the run prior she clocked an outstanding 34.53 over 600m finishing second at this track. This tougher but prefer for a place this time.

Should get a clear run from the wide draw. Wasn't impressive last start but does have a great record at this track and distance, should show more than the latest offering. Has claims.
