The Gardens Race 4

Bishop Collins Max 150 Points

Stake: $2,541

ABLE RIVAL (3) was well off top last time, finishing 6th (18.09) in a Grade 5 at Taree Super Track. Has never been out of the money this course and distance including one win. The form out of the last run is proven to be strong. Better than the latest effort and deserves another chance. LARRIKIN PIONEER (1) broke through for her maiden success last time out at this track over 400m (23.27). Solid formlines coming through her last run. Deserves serious consideration again. LET'S TROT VIXEN (2) has missed the frame the last couple but was a Grade 5 winner three back (23.42) at this track over 400m. This looks easier and expected to improve sharply. FROGGY DID IT (5) was out of the money here last time out but can bounce back.

Lines up chasing another win after scoring over 400m at this track in 23.27, set up by a fast early sectional. Can make it back to back wins.

Was big odds last time but gave a huge sight after a fast early split, weakening late to finish a 3 length fifth (30.18) over 515m at this track. Comes through a good form race. Looks a top chance.

Found some support last start but struggled and finished last in a Grade 5 on April 5 over 300m at Taree Super Track behind Weekend Scotch beaten 10 lengths (18.09). Placed two back at this track. The form from his last run is stacking up nicely. Follow up.

Last start finished seventh in a Grade 5 on April 4 over 400m at this track behind How High Spike, beaten 12 lengths (23.83). Happy to risk this time.

Missed the frame last time but was in the minors two on end prior to that, the most recent when third (23.43) at big odds over 400m at this track. Boxed awkwardly and will need a little luck to feature.
