The Gardens Race 5

Ladbrokes Odds Surge 1-3 Win

Stake: $2,541

TRICKLE (2) goes very well at the course and distance with two wins and a placing from six starts. Missed the frame latest (22.92) when seventh over 388m at Gosford in a Grade 5. Expected to be in the finish. NABIAC JACK (1) has mixed form a little and missed the frame the last two but was a Grade 5 winner three back (23.63) at this track over 400m. Can feature with the right run. RITZY RITZY (3) jumped from this same draw and was close to the lead throughout before boxing on well and holding a 3 length second (18.02) at Taree Super Track over 300m in a Grade 5. Rates a key player. FASCINATE VERN (4) has a solid strike rate at this track and distance.

Suited by inside box. Last start finished 7th over 400m at this track beaten 12 lengths (23.98) behind Hard Head Red in a Grade 5 on February 15. Below best last time but looks well placed here. Deserves another chance.

Ordinary effort last start when seventh over 388m at Gosford. Prior to that won by 2 lengths at this track (22.98) beating Little Granny in a Grade 5 on March 21. Expected to bounce right back. Hard to beat.

Could only manage fourth last time but the start prior hit the frame when second (23.16) over 400m at this track. Tricky draw to overcome but is among the better hopes.

Flew the lids with a fast early split and led until late but gathered in when a 1.5 lengths second at this track over 400m in 23.42. Found one better last time. Looks well placed and is worth following up.
