The Gardens Race 2 - Ladbrokes Popular Srm Mdn
CRITTER (2) placed on debut by 7 lengths (20.55) at Grafton over 350m. Likely to improve sharply this time. LUSKIN ROSE (1) is a first starter from the Ian Darcey yard by Bernardo out of Mac Fly. Drawn well and should get her chance. Has a nice profile and expected to measure up at first outing. KILKENNY BOY (5) last appeared when too good (20.68) over 340m at Gunnedah on May 27. Resumes after finishing fifth (20.68) at Gunnedah over 340m 11 weeks ago. Overall strike-rate good and can feature with the right run. GOODWIN RONNIE (7) is a Bryan Young-trained newcomer by Zipping Garth out of Black Flipper. Start all important and will need some luck getting across from the wide draw. Market to provide the best guide to her chances.

First race starter by Bernardo X Mac Fly. Drawn inside and will suit her running style and likely to have the pace to hit the lead in a really open race. With a little luck can figure here.

Turned in a sound debut over 350m at Grafton where he settled on speed and stuck on well to finish third (20.55). Has the ability to take this out.

Ran a fair race on debut when settled off the speed early and held position to finish fifth (20.68) at Gunnedah over 340m. Should be further improved. Strong form emerging from the that last run. Leading chance.
