The Gardens Race 3 - Racing Every Weekend In Newcastle
HOT SUSPECT (7) was an impressive winner last time in quickest of the meeting when scoring by 4.5 lengths (15.75) at this track. Rates on top again. UNCLE CHICKEN (1) opened a winning account two back then missed the frame latest finishing a 6 length fourth last start at Taree Super Track over 300m (18.04). Yet to win at the journey but has run some good races. Can feature with the right run. DOUBLE AGENT (4) won comfortably last time scoring by 5 lengths at Taree Super Track after jumping from box 5 (17.69). Will need some luck early after drawing a tricky box here. Strong form has emerged from his last run. Sure to be thereabouts. SAVINA (2) placed last time and is worth some thought.

Won two starts back over 300m at Taree Super Track. Last start he finished 4th on May 20 over 300m at Taree Super Track behind Lost Compass beaten 6 lengths (18.04) in a Grade 5. Draw likely to suit. Has been around the mark at his last couple and should make his presence felt.

Could only manage sixth last time but the start prior hit the frame at double figure odds when second (17.56) over 300m at Taree Super Track. Tough draw to overcome but is among the better hopes.
