The Gardens Race 11 - Ladbrokes Odds Surge Max 150 Points
SAHARA PEARL (2) was checked in the run when sixth in a Grade 4/5 at this track last time over 515m, finishing 14 lengths from the winner (30.36). Has Box 2 this time where she has two wins. Worth following up. ZIPPING BUBBLES (1) was game in defeat off the inside draw last start, finishing second and beaten 1.5 lengths (23.06) behind Diva's Delight at this track. Must be included in calculations. JET FUEL (4) settled down midfield and held his position to the line when finishing 4th (20.33) at Gunnedah. The form out of last race has been strong. Better than last start and can bounce back. MARTIN'S SHINE (7) has ability and can feature with the right run after missing a cheque here most recently.
