The Gardens Race 9 - Bishop Collins Max 150 Points
HOOKED ON JOY (1) has been settling off the speed lately, finishing fifth (23.34) last time in a Grade 5 at this track. Has performed well from this box with a win and two minor placings to her name from five starts. Has ability and can bounce back. ZIPPING GRESSIER (8) has mixed form recently, finishing seventh (23.66) in a Grade 4/5 at this track latest but did run well two back when in the frame. Rates a winning chance on best. POPPY'S DARLIN' (3) has mixed form recently, finishing fourth (23.11) in a Grade 5 at this track latest but did run well two back when in the frame. Good beginner and aided by a handy draw. Expected to do much better this time. RED AURA (2) can return to form after missing the top-three at this circuit last time out.

Latest effort finished 4th on May 22 over 400m at this track behind Kiss And Run beaten 5 lengths (23.11) in a Grade 5. Has been racing well. Well placed here and looks a leading contender.

Could only manage sixth last time but placed two on end prior to that, the latest when second (23.00) over 400m at this track. Awkwardly drawn and will need to find best.

Has not shown much in recent runs. Could only manage sixth last time out over 400m at Maitland. Hard to have this time.

Ran a better race when second behind Really Savage at Bulli last start over 340m (19.55). Gets back so might need a bit of luck.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (23.66) in a Grade 4/5, finishing a 7 length seventh. Fairly consistent record from the draw including a win and two minors. Key chance and should go close.
