The Gardens Race 8 - Ladbrokes Top 2/3/4 Betting
FEDERAL PLAYER (6) has an impeccable record this course, winning all three starts. Was out of placings last time (22.76) at Maitland in a NG, finishing fourth and beaten 7 lengths. Appeals as a leading chance in this. ZIPPING DELORIS (1) filled the minor placings again last time when second (22.41) at Gosford, making it three straight minors on end. Goes well from this draw. Has the ability and rates a key chance this line-up. STAR (7) showed little early speed at her last couple, the latest finishing sixth (23.57) in a Grade 3/4 at this track. Has a good record here including five wins. Should be in this for a long way. JASPER DARKE (2) is a chance after winning last time.

Struggling to break through but racing consistently, finishing in the minors three starts on end. Last time out flew the lids with a fast early sectional but gathered in and finished in the minors when second (22.41) at Gosford over 388m. Boasts a course and distance PB in a dazzling 22.47. Top chance.

Strong performance to win by 1.75 lengths at this track over 400m (22.79) beating Laurie's Rupee in NG on February 27. Must be a winning chance again.

Backs up after winning comfortably by 4.5 lengths at Gosford (22.24) beating Kawasaki Girl in a Grade 4/5 on March 3 four days ago. Likely to find this a lot tougher and she needs to find another gear.

Hasn't threatened at her last couple but she has solid credentials over this track and distance. Forward showing expected.

Good effort to win last start by one length over 400m at this track in a handy (22.81), beating Zipping Deloris. Has a strong record from box 8, including six wins. Winning hope with the right run.
