The Gardens Race 5 - Racing Every Weekend In Newcastle

DROP A STACK (5) was in the placings last time but three back posted a superb 22.60 win over 400m at this track. Has the ability and looks hard to top. ALFIE'S GIRL (7) was below best last time at this track (23.04) in a Grade 5, finishing a 4 length fourth. Has already won out of this draw. Suited here and expected to run well. RAVEN FLY (2) finished in the minors last time but the start prior broke the clock when winning over 400m at this track, taking a Maiden in a fast 22.91. Smart winner two back and looks a key chance on that form. GOLDILOCKS GORT (1) is worth another chance despite missing the top-three here most recently.

Well supported last time and gave a sight after a fast early split but could manage only the minor money, finishing a 2.5 lengths third (22.94) over 400m at this track. Won at her only start from this draw. Top chance to make it two from two.

Has struggled to jump cleanly in recent outings and the results have been disappointing, the most recent effort a seventh over 400m at this track. Not keen, needs to lift.

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 (23.04) at this track over 400m. Thereabouts of late and rates highly this line-up. Expected to be in the finish.
