The Gardens Race 5 - Tg The Shorty Hotel 6-15
MAXIMUM GAYLE (3) started big odds last time but hit the ground running with a strong early split, giving a sight but fading only late to finish second (22.87) at this track over 400m. Likely to feature again. SKINNY MARIE (5) filled a minor placing last start at this track behind Beltone Boy (23.01) in a Grade 5. Has the pace to be prominent. Hard to beat again. BOMB NOAH (1) showed little early speed at his last couple, the latest finishing fourth (23.10) in a Grade 4/5 at this track. Form here sound including two wins. Safe beginner who draws ideally on the inside. Expected to feature in the finish. DANIEL KEEPING (8) generally performs well from this box.
