The Gardens Race 1 - @Thegardensgrnsw Maiden
ARCADIA PRIZE (4) broke from a low draw and filled a minor placing last start, beaten only a neck (17.98) behind Blue Wiggle at Taree Super Track. One of the leading chances. MORE DRAMA (5) is a first starter by Aston Fastnet out of Paua Of Chloe with no trial form to work with. Profiles well but prefer to see a move in betting. REDEEM A ARCADIA (1) makes his first outing and has drawn to advantage. Bold showing expected here. KILCOY PEARL (2) was strongly fancied last time but ran below expectations when fifth (16.44), beaten 2.75 lengths.

Having her first run at this track. Coming off a modest effort last start when she finished last on May 3 over 320m at Richmond behind Secret Bullet beaten 21 lengths (19.94) in a Maiden. Jumps from box 8. Can't recommend in this field.
