The Gardens Race 9 - Ladbrokes Big Bets Copy Now
RUNAWAY SAM (2) hit the ground running to score by 1.3 lengths (24.36) at Bendigo over 425m. Drawn to take advantage of good early pace. Rates to win again. ASTON ATLANTIC (1) led early but gathered in and found a bit of trouble before missing the frame with a 10 length fifth (23.49) in a Grade 5 at this track. Can measure up this time. TARA REBEL (8) was a last start winner (22.90) at this track in a Grade 5 and will jump from box 8 for the first time. Solid record here at the distance winning two races. Winner at her latest appearance in one of the quickest times on the card. Can continue on with her winning form. VINNIE ZACAPA (3) can find the frame without surprising.

Was well fancied on debut and opened winning account with a 1.3 lengths win at Bendigo over 425m (24.36). Back in great order and makes plenty of appeal again.

Missed the frame last time but finished in the minors two back when third (23.23) over 400m at this track. Aided by a low draw and is worth plenty of thought.

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 (23.05) at this track over 400m. Has never missed the frame in three starts from this box. Definite chance.

Lifted to win two runs back and scored again last start over 400m at this track (22.90,) beating Wonky Key Donkey. Recorded one of the quickest times on the card last time. Worth following up.
