The Gardens Race 5 - Racing Every Weekend In Newcastle
WHAT'S THE STORY (1) doesn't win out of turn. Finished in the minors latest when third (23.56) at this track and may be close to breaking through. Has a good record at this journey. Some good form is emerging from her last run. Key chance in this line up. ANGEL JOE (2) goes very well at the course and distance with two wins and a placing from four starts. Missed the frame latest (23.19) when seventh over 388m at Gosford in a Grade 5. Makes strong appeal on best. GARY INDIANA (3) is rarely out of the finish, recording 29 places from 55 starts. Hit the board with a minor placing last time when third (23.17) at this track. Can feature again. SUNSHINE RHONDA (4) was out of the frame here most recently but can atone.

Improved sharply when third behind Jilliby Scotty at this track last start over 400m (23.56). Gets back so might need a bit of luck.

Could only manage seventh last time but placed two on end prior to that, the latest when second (23.27) over 400m at this track. Boxed awkwardly and appears tested on latest effort.
