The Gardens Race 12 - Ladbrokes Blackbook Masters

SMART COMET (1) was well fancied in betting last start but could only manage one length away in third (22.60). Must come into calculations. STOCK'S GIFT (2) doesn't win out of turn. Hit the board with a minor placing last time when second (23.03) at this track. Form here sound including four wins. Winning chance. SPARKY KEY (3) has been settling off the speed lately, finishing fourth (23.22) last time in a Grade 5 at this track. Great chance to atone. BIG DEL (7) warrants respect following a recent placing.
