The Gardens Race 5 - Ladbrokes Odds Surge
Looks a race in two. SMART COMET (2) was a brilliant winner here last week and looks very well graded as a FFAer up against fourth graders. MAX STAPPEN (8) flew around here last week over the 515m. Races just as well over this trip. Big threat. FASCINATE MARIA (4) is very honest but facing her biggest test. WALTER AVENUE (1) can finish strongly.

Big dog (39kgs) who likes this draw but might not have the early pace to lead. Can settle close and finish over the top if any trouble up front. Each way.

Looks very well graded here as a FFAer up against fourth graders. Has good early pace and if he can find the front early looks very hard to beat here.

Has a fantastic strike rate but this is her biggest test to date. Is usually a reliable beginner who could cause an upset if able to cross the inside pair.

Reliable beginner who might get a nice cart across early. Would prefer him drawn in closer but he does his best racing here. Can find the placings at odds.

Handy effort when placed here last week in Masters grade. Veteran chaser who likes a wide draw but might need it easier then this. Back of exotics best hope.

Cracking win here last week leading all the way in fast time over 515m. Races well at this trip here and he can salute if there is any trouble inside. Danger.
