The Gardens Race 6 - The Shorty Hotel 1-2 Win
MONSTRANCE CLOCK (1) has mixed form a little and missed the frame the last two but was a Maiden winner three back (23.36) at this track over 400m. Looks suited here and big improvement expected. HOLLIES HAYLEY (2) was strongly fancied last time but ran below expectations when seventh (18.05), beaten 8 lengths. Should be in this for a long way. TOP BIN NISMO (5) was a winner (22.49) at Maitland two back but out of the placings last time when 6th there. Great chance to atone. WIZARD KING (8) looks a chance coming off a six-and-a-half weeks layoff.

Found some support last start but struggled and finished 7th on August 5 over 300m at Taree Super Track behind Noah's Mekong beaten 8 lengths (18.05) in a Grade 5. Placed two back at Taree Super Track. Was in the money two on end before missing the frame last time. Worth another try.
