The Gardens Race 10 - Ladbrokes Popular Srm 1-3 Win
ZHANG (8) has not raced since scoring (30.11) over 520m at Richmond nine weeks ago. Rates highly here and will go close. KALANI SKY (1) was game in defeat when finished in the minors last start over the 515m at this track, running a sharp 29.58 in a Grade 5. This is tougher but looks a leading chance again. WITCHY WOMAN (2) jumped from a middle draw last time and could manage only fourth and beaten 2.25 lengths (29.94) at this track. Safe beginner who has drawn to advantage. Should be about the mark. INDIGO PEARL (5) should be thereabouts despite an unplaced run here most recently.

Was among the placegetters latest at this track when a 2 length second but did clock an excellent 29.58 over the 515m journey. Hard to top with a repeat of that run.

Needs to do more than recent efforts, the latest a sixth over 515m at this track. Prefer in something easier.

Resumes from a break and did win only other start when fresh which was on debut, scoring over 515m at this track. Looks a winning chance fresh.
