The Gardens Race 7 - Ladbrokes Popular Srm
HOMER MULWEE (1) has a strong record this track and trip with five wins and two placings from 10 starts. Recorded a 0.8 lengths win (22.85) in a Grade 5 last time at this track. Looks a key chance on best form. ELLA KNOWS (8) was out of in the placings when fourth last time but prior to that ran a handy 22.88 win over 400m at this track. Must include on winning run two back. MINTER MULWEE (6) jumped favourite and was too quick with an all-the-way win last start (23.03) at this track in a Grade 5 over 400m. Makes plenty of appeal if runs up to latest. SHANGHAI SPY (2) gets a chance to improve on an unplaced run at her latest outing at this circuit.

Was prominent from the outset and held on well to win at this track over 400m in 22.85 last start, beating Flying Monkey's. Likes the rails so boasts a course and distance PB in a scintillating 22.55. Top chance.

Found some support last start but struggled and finished 6th in a Grade 5 on April 30 over 388m at Gosford behind Kaelix Nitro beaten 9 lengths (22.90). Placed two back at this track. Not far away last start. Right in the mix again.

Flew the lids with a strong early split and led throughout to score an impressive win by 4.5 lengths over 400m at this track (23.03). Makes plenty of appeal on the back of the latest win.
