Gosford Race 3

Ladbrokes Lightning 5Th Grade Ht2 H

Stake: $2,541

SNEAKY CHAMBER (5) is a progressive type who recorded her 4th career win last time out (22.21) at this track. Has an impeccable record here. Ran one of the fastest times on the program in her latest win. Form reads well for this. DIVA'S DELIGHT (1) is in hot form after clocking a fast 22.84 victory two back then followed up with a 23.12 win at The Gardens over 400m last time. Rates a leading chance if runs up to recent form. GOT MERIT (3) has found the minor placings here at last couple of runs, finishing second last time beaten 1.5 lengths (22.31). Nicely placed to grab a well-deserved win. DANDY REDEEMER (6) can play a role in the finish without surprising.

Turned in another winning performance after leading to make it two on the trot at The Gardens over 400m (23.12). Looks suited and should go close again.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage sixth last time out over 388m at this track. This looks too tough.
