The Gardens Race 10 - Sires On Ice Black Top Heat 5 H
RITZA SOPHIE (3) was far too good after running them ragged to bring up six wins in a row at Wentworth Park over 520m (29.28). Winner at her latest appearance in the quickest time on the card. Flying at the moment and expecting another big run. GALBA MAJOR (1) steps out for the first time at this course. Comes here a last start placegetter at Goulburn in a Grade 5 (20.61). Yet to score from this box but has never missed the frame in four starts. Expecting another good run. BANK KEEPING (2) sizzled around Wentworth Park over 520m in 29.73 for a one length win. Has the ability and looks a key chance. CANYA HANDLE IT (5) proved himself from this box last start – sure to figure prominently.

In the money last time at Goulburn (20.61) in a Grade 5, finishing a 9 length second. Yet to score but has placed each of four runs from this draw. Looks a key chance on best form.

Consistent performer who is new here. Nice win last start by one length at Wentworth Park (29.73) beating Bull Market in a Grade 5 on September 10. Makes plenty of appeal on the back of the latest win.

Has been racing extremely well, putting six wins back-to-back. Had plenty of support last start when she won comfortably by 9 lengths at Wentworth Park (29.28) beating Vintage Glow in a Grade 5 on September 12. Flying lately and can score again.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage sixth last time out over 450m at Maitland. Can't recommend against this lot.

Could only manage fifth last time but had been in the money the two starts prior, most recently when a narrow second (29.74) over 520m at Richmond. Tough draw to overcome and looks safely held.

Was a little disappointing last start, fading in the run home at Taree Super Track over 525m. The start prior was at his best with a 5.5 lengths win over 525m at Taree Super Track. Mixing his form but shapes as a genuine contender under these conditions.
