The Gardens Race 5 - Geoffrey Redden Digital Pix
BLAZING PRINCE (1) has been below best and missed the frame last couple, finishing 7th (30.40) last time in a Grade 4/5 at this track. Great record here at the trip having never missed the frame including one win. Form from his last run is proving strong. Can bounce back. NICMAC STORM (8) has a strong winning strike-rate this journey having won three of five starts. Recorded a 4.5 lengths win (22.73) in a Grade 5 last time at this track. Can feature with the right run. JUST LIKE MIA (6) has been hard to follow lately, running seventh (21.44) last time but prior to that ran very well when placed at this track. Key player on best and worth another try. LET'S HAVE HER (2) can finish much closer after missing a cheque at this track last start.

Has failed to fire at the last couple but he has solid credentials over this track and distance. The form out of the last run measures up. Hard to beat.

Has been in the minors the last two, the latest showing strong pace early but gathered in and finished a 3 length second over 388m Gosford in 22.61. Capable of a good showing.

Finished in the minors last time when third (22.61) at Gosford, making it two placings on end. Will need a little luck early from the draw. Has to do a bit more.

In rare form with a current sequence of three wins on the hop. Added to the tally last start when he won comfortably by 4.5 lengths at this track (22.73) beating Bargain Betty in a Grade 5 on October 31. In hot form and can take this out.
