The Gardens Race 5 - Ladbrokes Blackbook Masters
MY LADY ASH (2) was out of the placings last time but shapes well for this on her slick win the start prior, getting around this track over 400m in 22.92. Expected to push the clock again here. FANCY CHICK (6) is mixing form lately, finishing out of the placings last time at Gunnedah but was a Grade 4 winner two back at Gunnedah. Expected to bounce back to best. KIM BELL (1) is a smart beginner who has shown good improvement at her last two starts, most recently finishing 2nd at this track over 400m. Leading chance. PEPPA NANDO (8) can measure up with the right run.

Has shown little speed out of the boxes and tends to spot them a start in her races, The latest effort was a 8 length sixth over 300m at Taree Super Track. Prepared to risk this time.

Ordinary effort last start when she got back too far over 340m at Gunnedah. Prior to that won comfortably by 3.5 lengths at Gunnedah (20.31) beating Rhi's Girl in a Grade 4 on February 9. Tipped to improve sharply. Rates highly on best form.

Has not shown much in recent runs. Could only manage fifth last time out over 400m at this track. Thereabouts last time others preferred this line-up.

Could only manage eighth last time but placed two on end prior to that, the latest at double-figure odds when third (23.41) over 400m at this track. Boxed out wide and will need everything to go her way.
