The Gardens Race 3 - The Ladbrokes 715 Calcutta April 30 Pathways
POPPY'S DARLIN' (6) has been settling off the speed lately, finishing fifth (23.42) last time in a Grade 5 at this track. Solid record at the distance winning five races. Consistent performer from this draw with a win and four minor placings to her credit. Better than last start and worth following up. CERULEAN MOON (1) made light work of a wide draw last time with a slick early sectional but gathered in and had to settle for the minors, finishing second (23.14) at this track over 400m. Can feature again. SUPER SASSY (8) comes off an average effort last start when seventh at Maitland over 400m behind Despicable Kyro (23.36) in a Grade 5. Can figure in the finish. SOFT WHISPER (3) deserves plenty of thought over this journey.

Big odds last time but gave a huge sight after a fast early split, grabbed late but holding on to a placing when a 1.75 lengths second (23.14) over 400m at this track. Fought on last time. Right in the mix again.

Didn't finish two back and couldn't make the frame last time when she finished last over 400m at this track beaten 13 lengths (24.13) behind Pocket Point in a Mix 3/4 on April 17. Not one of the leading chances on this occasion.

Was out of placings last time (23.42) at this track in a Grade 5, finishing fifth and beaten 6 lengths. Fairly consistent record from the draw including a win and four minors. Looks a key chance on best form.
