The Gardens Race 5 - The Shorty Hotel

ULTRA SPECIAL (1) recorded two placings in a row before an overdue win last time, scoring by 1.5 lengths (15.94) at this track. Will go close again if runs up to latest. MULLAWAY BUD (2) comes off an average performance last start when eighth at this track over 272m behind Darley Boy (16.89) in a Grade 5. Will give the top chances plenty to think about. SAVINA (7) broke a string of placings finishing in the money two on end before a last start fifth (23.30) at this track. Should play a prominent role. FAITH IN CAEDEN (8) looks a top-three hope after a break.
