The Gardens Race 4 - The Shorty Hotel
ZIPPER SURPRISE (2) got around 400m in a respectable 22.86 when winning a Grade 5 at this track last start. Has the ability and looks hard to top. GARY INDIANA (3) showed little early speed at his last couple, the latest finishing fifth (23.33) in a Grade 5 at this track. Smart beginner who should take advantage of the low draw. Shapes as one to consider. SPARKLING WHEELS (5) missed the frame latest (23.72) when seventh over 400m at this track in a Grade 5. Already a winner from this draw. With even luck and a clean start should be thereabouts. RHONDA FULL DAY (1) was unplaced here last start but gets her chance to atone.

Has failed to fire at the last couple but she does have a good record at the track and trip, including two wins. Good beginner who will take catching despite the middle draw.

Big odds last time but gave a huge sight after a fast early split, grabbed late but holding on to a placing when a 6 length third (23.15) over 401m at Richmond. Good beginner who with clear running out wide can give a bold sight.
