The Gardens Race 9 - Bishop Collins
HOOKED ON IRAOLA (1) has shown good improvement at his last two starts, finishing in the money last time when 3rd at this track over 400m. Safe beginner who draws ideally on the inside. Rates highly and will give a great sight. BRING ON BLING (8) was well fancied in betting last start but could only manage a nose away in second (22.36). Remains without a win from the draw but has been in the placings four times from seven attempts. Expected to feature. SPARKY KEY (2) turned in a better effort at this track last start, finishing second behind George Judy (23.01) in a Grade 5. Stalked the pace but found the line strongly. Can feature again. THAT'S MINE (3) is always a threat when he races at this track and distance.

Goes well at this track and trip. Most recent effort finished 6th over 400m at this track beaten 18 lengths (23.59) behind Quick Thinkin' in a Grade 5 on March 14. Solid claims this line-up.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (23.37) in a Grade 5, finishing a 8 length fourth. Fairly consistent record from the draw including a win and five minors. Tough line-up and may struggle.

Needs to do more than recent efforts, the latest a seventh over 400m at this track. Doesn't profile as a likely winner.

Placed last time (22.36) at Gosford in a Grade 4/5, finishing second and beaten a nose. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed four times. Looks a leading chance.
