The Gardens Race 1 - @Thegardensgrnsw 0-1 Win
HELLO PRETZEL (5) carved over from wide out and boxed on strongly to finish a nose away in second (30.47) behind Code Of Silence at Gosford. The form from her last run is stacking up nicely. Likely to feature again. LITTLE MIMI (4) was strongly supported last start when a short priced favourite and duly saluted winning by 0.8 lengths at Gunnedah in a handy 25.34. Has a tricky draw to overcome but in form and has the ability. Can make it two on the bounce. ZIPPING PERCAT (2) was safely held last time out, finishing eighth at Maitland over 450m behind Zipper Stride (25.95) in a Grade 5. Can measure up this time. ZIPPING ALONSO (3) was unplaced here last start but gets his chance to atone.

Drawn the inside alley. At the last start finished 4th over 300m at Casino beaten 12 lengths (18.05) behind Satin Sparkle in a Maiden on April 30. Has ability and worth including.

Got back last start and could only manage sixth but before that won by 2 lengths at Maitland (25.43) beating Zipping Randle in a Maiden on April 27. Solid claims this line-up.

Was prominent from the outset and held on well to win at Gunnedah over 431m in 25.34 last start, beating Orana Willow. Makes plenty of appeal on the back of the latest win.

Charged out of the boxes with a slick early split and went straight to the front, giving a huge sight but headed late when a nose second (30.47) over 515m at Gosford. The form from her last run is stacking up nicely. Follow up.

Hit the frame latest (30.63) when third at Taree Super Track in a Grade 5. Yet to win but has placed four times from this draw. Suited here and expected to run well.

Backs up after finishing 6th on May 2 over 515m at this track in a Grade 5. Other runners look much more appealing.
