The Gardens Race 9 - Bishop Collins
FEDERAL PLAYER (2) rises out to this distance for the first time. Has a strong record off this draw. Makes strong appeal on best. FEDERAL SENOR (3) was below best last time when eighth at this track but prior to that among the placings in quick time (19.78) at Grafton. Expected to do much better this time. DAISY'S CHARM (1) has been settling off the speed lately, finishing sixth (30.39) last time in a Grade 5 at Wentworth Park. Yet to win out of this box but has been in the placings five times from eight starts. Cannot be underestimated. KALANI SKY (4) is worth a look over a shorter distance this time.

Didn't make the placings last time at Wentworth Park (30.39) in a Grade 5, finishing a 5.5 lengths sixth. Yet to win but has placed five times from this draw. With a clean break looks hard to beat.

Well supported last time and rocketed out of the boxes with a scorching early sectional but had to settle for the minor money, finishing a 0.8 lengths second (22.20) over 400m at Maitland. The form out of the last run measures up. Hard to beat.

Well fancied last start but could only manage eighth over 400m at this track in 23.77. Had been going well prior to that. Key chance on his best form.

Out of the placings last time but the run prior she clocked a solid 29.84 over 520m finishing third at Wentworth Park. Can sneak a place again.

Jumped safely when finishing fifth over 515m at this track. Won an easier race the start before that at this track. Not up to this.

Did a good job two starts back at this track to win by 4.5 lengths in 29.74, beating Fascinate Maria. Last start finished 7th in a Grade 4/5 on July 10 over 515m at this track behind Federal Sniper beaten 14 lengths (30.55). Others read better.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage fifth last time out over 515m at this track. Likely to find this too tough.

Needs to do more than recent efforts, the latest a seventh over 515m at this track. Prepared to overlook.
