The Gardens Race 1 - @Thegardensgrnsw Battlers Mdn
ZIPPER MOON (7) has finished in the money in each of her five runs so far, the latest when second (30.50) at Wentworth Park. Key player on best form and gets chance here. HOT TO TRACE (2) turned in a better run last time to find a minor placing (30.63) at this track behind Must Be Joking in a Maiden. Has the pace to be prominent. Form from his last run is proving to be solid. Must be included in calculations. HUXLEY'S ROCKET (8) jumps from box 8 again after placing (30.40) last time at this track over 515m. Worth following up. IONA HUNTRIX (5) has definite claims at her first try at this circuit.

Suited by inside box. Last start finished fifth on July 9 over 520m at Wentworth Park behind Lady Llorona, beaten 9 lengths (30.93) in a Maiden. Happy to risk this time.

Stepping out over 515m for the first time. Out of the placings in recent runs, most recently when sixth over 400m at this track. Hasn't done enough of late to inspire confidence.

Having her first start over this course and distance. Last start finished sixth at Maitland over 400m in (23.22). Worth serious consideration.

Has been consistent, placing at her last 5 starts. Last start finished 2nd over 520m at Wentworth Park beaten 3 lengths (30.50) behind Lady Llorona in a Maiden on July 9. Looks well placed and should prove hard to beat.

Yet to break through in five runs, the latest effort a second over 515m at this track in 30.40. Should play a big role.
