The Gardens: Race 4 (8:19pm)
No. 1 Ariarne Bale

Ariarne Bale takes winning form into the fourth at The Gardens tonight and looks well placed to make it two in a row.

The daughter of Feral Franky has won four of her last seven starts, but broke a couple of winless weeks in dominant fashion at Geelong last week.

She’s drawn to receive every chance tonight from Box 1.

The Gardens: Race 5 (8:38pm)
No. 7 Zipping Orlando

Zipping Orlando looms as the one to beat in Race 5 at The Gardens tonight.

The son of Zipping Garth hasn’t missed placing at his last eight trips to the races, winning fourth times including a Group 1 race at Wentworth Park last time out.

A repeat of that effort in this weaker race and I think he’ll win easily again.

The Gardens: Race 7 (9:19pm)
No. 2 Wheel And Go

Wheel And Go can record another win at The Gardens tonight.

The son of Benali has won four of his last six starts, filling the minors on the other two occasions and finding form around some talented opposition.

He’s drawn ideally into a race for which several of his leading contenders will need some luck, and I think he’s the one to beat.

The Gardens: Race 8 (9:38pm)
No. 4 Palawa King

Palawa King is chasing a hat-trick when he takes his place in Race 8 at The Gardens tonight.

The son of Feral Franky was knocking on the door of a win for a while and was rewarded with an eye-catching effort over 622m at Richmond two back.

He franked that effort with another smart one over the same route last time, and the rise in trip he gets this week looks ideal.
