The Gardens Race 1 - @Thegardensgrnsw Maiden
ZIPPER NIGHT (4) had second look this course and distance latest and improved on her time, finishing a 3 length third in 23.30. Happy to have her on top here. SHE'S A ANGEL (1) has an honest record despite remaining a maiden and overdue for a win, having placed 17 of 29 career runs. Yet to win out of this box but has been in the placings five times from six starts. Has the ability to give this a shake. ALFIE UNLEASHED (7) hit the ground running off the inside draw and there until late when holding on for a minor finishing second (23.30) at this track in a Maiden over 400m. Must be included in calculations. EXCITING FORTE (8) is still a maiden but is regularly in the top-three.

Turned in a fair debut run over 272m at this track where she settled off the pace and battled on to finish fifth (16.46) and beaten 6 lengths. Should be further improved. Can't enthuse on this occasion.

Produced a good run, hitting the frame last run (16.28) at this track in a Maiden. Has first look at box 5 this time. Tough line-up and places prospects appear best.
