The Gardens Race 10 - The Racecourse Hotel
ALFIE'S POP (2) proved too good on debut over 400m at this track to score by 2.25 lengths (23.17). Drawn to be prominent early. Expected to go close again. BARKLEY LANE (1) was game in defeat off a low draw at the latest outing, finishing third and beaten 1.5 lengths (20.17) behind Lumeah Matilda at Gunnedah. Winning chance. WONKY KEY DONKEY (3) had been racing in honest fashion recording three placings in a row before finishing fifth (23.43) at this track latest. Yet to win out of this box but has been in the placings five times from six starts. Expected to run well. KEY JASPER (7) is building a nice sequence of placings – hard to fault that form.

Suited by inside box. Last start finished 3rd over 340m at Gunnedah beaten 1.5 lengths (20.17) behind Lumeah Matilda in a Grade 5 on June 3. Expected to go very well.

Made considerable ground after settling back on debut. Won by 2.25 lengths at this track (23.17) beating Lacy Sarah in a Maiden on May 30. Will find this much tougher but he's got good box manners and speed. Can only be further improved and expected to measure up again.

Finished third at big odds last time (22.85) over 400m at Maitland. Awkward draw to overcome. Looks to have the job ahead.

Needs to do more than recent efforts, the latest a seventh over 400m at this track. Will be tested in this company.

Started big odds last time but hit the ground running with a slick early split, giving a sight but fading out of it to finish fourth (23.32) at this track over 400m. Looks up against it this time.

Form has been solid with minor placings at her last three starts. Last time out finished 2nd in a Grade 5 on May 28 over 400m at this track behind Zipping Tanaka beaten 2 lengths (23.23). Better than the last couple of runs suggest. Expected to feature.

Could only manage eighth last time but the start prior hit the frame at double figure odds when third (23.42) over 400m at this track. Has a wide draw to navigate but is worth plenty of thought.
