The Gardens Race 8 - Bishop Collins
HERE WE GO (3) was popular in betting last start but disappointed when 10 lengths away in fifth (30.81). Was in the money the start prior. Smart beginner who should take advantage of the low draw. Ready to return to form. HELLO PECK (8) ran below his best last time finishing fourth (29.71) over 515m at this track in a NG. Has a strong record here including four wins. Has ability and a bold showing is expected. FASCINATE JOHN (2) carved over from wide out and boxed on strongly to finish 1.5 lengths away in second (29.60) behind Shadow Assassin at this track. Didn't win last time but still ran one of the quickest times on the card. Deserves a win and gets his chance. ETHANOL SECRET (5) was out of the money here last time out but can bounce back.

Found some support last start but struggled and finished 5th over 520m at Wentworth Park beaten 10 lengths (30.81) behind Kingsbrae Brett in a Mix 2/3 on September 10. Placed two back at this track. Had been in strong form, hitting the frame two times on end, before the latest effort. Can atone.

Missed the frame last time but the start prior clocked a slick 29.83 over 520m finishing third at Wentworth Park. Among the each way chances if runs up best times.

Returns from a six months spell after failing to finish last start but the start prior was a Grade 5 winner in the quickest time on the card at this track in a Grade 5. Gets chance to atone but prefer for a place.
