The Gardens Race 3 - Book Your Xmas Party Trackside Masters

MAX STAPPEN (7) was below best at his last start when 6th at this track following a third place finish (22.97) at Maitland two back. Has a good record here at this journey. Better than the latest effort and deserves another chance. SHORTY BOY (2) had the drop on the lead and went on to be beaten 6 lengths into third (25.50) at Grafton in a NG over 450m. Nicely placed to grab a well-deserved win. RATTLIN' BYE (1) has a strong winning strike-rate over this track and trip with four wins and a placing from nine tries. In the money last time at Taree Super Track (17.51) in a Mix 1/2/3, finishing a 6 length second. Looks well placed here and among the chances. POCKET POINT (6) was out of the frame here most recently but can atone.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (23.80) in a NG, finishing a 15 length sixth. Has four successes and two minors from 11 starts from box 7. Key chance and should go close.
