The Gardens Race 4 - Happy 26th Birthday Jacob
WILD CHEVY (5) Just average when 6th last start at Taree. Expected to rebound and good career start. Have to respect the recent kennel form and racing over a longer distance. Can win this. RAVEN FLY (2) Competitive effort when 2nd last time at this venue. Has shown early pace in races to date. Been in the money multiple times this preparation. Can take this out. DRINK TO THAT (1) Disappointing effort when 4th last start at the track but has drawn the rails. Worth consideration. SAVINA (8) Tidy run when 3rd last start at this venue and gets a favourable box. Should muster plenty of early speed. Open to improvement and is a strong chance again.

Started at $1.60 and ordinary performance when 4th last start around here but will be aiming for a soft run from the draw. Represents significant value.

Was $14.00 and mediocre performance when 6th last start at the track. Has to improve out of sight.

Jumped at $2.25 and was nothing special when 6th last start at Taree. Expected to rebound and putting a tidy record together. Michael Manuel kennel are on fire recently. Can win.

In the money when 3rd last start at Maitland. Has good early speed and will be nicely positioned. Unfortunately, it seems unlikely.

Placed 3rd last start around here and will try to take advantage of the box. Likely to be well placed early. A threat to the other main hopes.
