The Gardens Race 9 - Ladbrokes Popular Srm
LARNIE'S MAGIC (1) has a strong record this trip with nine wins and five placings from 20 starts. Was out of placings last time (16.23) at this track in a Grade 3/4, finishing sixth and beaten 8 lengths. Expected to go close. GUNNELL GIRL (7) continued her winning form with another strong run after enjoying a good run to make it two in a row, scoring by 1.75 lengths (17.56) at Taree Super Track over 300m. Recorded one of the quickest times on the card in scoring last start. Sure to measure up. MY WEE LASS (8) has some solid form under her belt and proved too strong last time to win by 3 lengths at this track in a handy 15.73 beating Miss Twix. Ran the fastest time on the program in her latest win. Can make it two on the bounce. SPEED DIAL (4) is worth another chance despite missing the top-three here most recently.
