The Gardens Race 7

Bishop Collins

Stake: $4,044

CESSNOCK CURTAIN (7) Weakened under pressure when 8th last run at this track. Can show a better performance this time. Will go well. BUNDY BLUE (4) Lost ground in the run home when 8th last run at Q1 Lakeside. Looking past the last run. Has early speed and positions nicely. Has the ability to figure. SWIFT GRANT (3) Was ordinary when 6th last time at Nowra but racing over a longer distance. Displays good early speed. Has been a model of consistency since resuming from a break. Consider an each way bet. HELLO CHILLI (6) Subpar when 4th last run at Gosford. Should race on the speed. Recent form of Billy Mcgovern is strong. Betting may be best guide to the chances and each way is the likely play.

Was $16.00 and came in 5th last run at Wentworth Park but will be aiming for a soft run from the draw. Betting is the best guide.

Odds of $9.50 and tailed off to finish 8th last run at Q1 Lakeside. Looking past the last run. Will be positive in the run early. Genuine claims.

Odds of $12.00 and below par performance when 4th last run at Gosford. Won't be far away during the run. Billy Mcgovern kennel are having a great run of late. Worth a lot of thought in this race.
