The Gardens Race 5 - The Racecourse Hotel 1-3 Win
BAD KNEES (3) was safely held last time out, finishing fifth at Wentworth Park over 520m behind Trunkey Mick (30.80) in a Grade 5. Was in the money prior to that. Good beginner aided by a nice draw. Has ability and looks hard to stop. WITCHY WOMAN (1) has been mixing form lately, hitting the frame two back before finishing fourth (30.35) at this track in a Grade 5. Expected to do much better this time. BURGLAR TOM (2) has mixed form recently, finishing seventh (30.73) in a Grade 5 at this track latest but did run well two back when in the frame. Can find the frame this time. SENTOSA (7) can sneak into the finish.

Fast starter. Last start finished 4th in a Grade 5 on June 6 over 515m at this track behind Gypsy Ibrox beaten 9 lengths (30.35). Strong form emerging from the that last run. Leading chance.

Had been racing in honest fashion before missing the frame last time out, finishing eighth (31.34) at this track. Has a squeeze box to navigate and will need a little luck to feature.
