The Gardens Race 2 - Christmas Parties At The Gardens
OLD FRIENDS (3) wasn't far away at the finish when 5th and beaten only 5 lengths (16.31) at this track. Solid formlines coming through his last run. Has ability and looks hard to stop. LOST COMPASS (1) turned spotting a big start finishing fourth (16.18) last time in a Grade 4/5 at this track. Safe beginner who draws ideally on the inside. A big run wouldn't surprise. LIFE DREAM (2) looks close to another win after finishing second last time (17.74) at Taree Super Track. Will go close here with a clear run. HOT WORK (7) can improve on an unplaced run here last time out.

Last start finished 4th on October 16 over 272m at this track behind Young Energy beaten 5.5 lengths (16.18) in a Grade 4/5. Good beginner and should go close off the inside draw.

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 second (17.74) over 300m at Taree Super Track. Strong form emerging from the that last run. Leading chance.

Facing tougher opposition than she has faced recent starts and current form just not to what is required to figure. Looks outclassed here.

Comes to this track for the first time. Comes off an average run last start over 300m at Taree Super Track when seventh behind Scotch Lass (18.24) in Grade 5. Not one of the leading chances on this occasion.

Latest effort finished last in a Grade 5 on October 13 over 272m at this track behind Runaway Sam beaten 12 lengths (16.73). Expect improvement on the latest effort. Great chance to atone.
