The Gardens Race 8 - Ladbrokes Popular Srm
MOONLIGHT ZIPPER (4) ran a good time (29.88) winning a Grade 5 two back at this track but missed the frame latest finishing fourth at this track. Expecting significant improvement this line-up. SMOOTH WHITE (1) has been beaten for early speed lately, last time finishing fifth (29.99) in a Grade 4/5 at this track. Cannot be taken lightly. FEDERAL FELIX (6) doesn't show much early dash but winds into his races, two back missing the frame but last time hitting the line hard to place when second (30.20) in a Grade 5 at this track last time. Expected to be in this for a long way. SAIL AWAY SAM (7) cannot be overlooked following a recent top-three finish.
