The Gardens Race 5 - Bishop Collins Masters
HALF PAST TIPSY (2) has missed the frame at her last couple but wasn't beaten far three back when second (17.69) at Taree Super Track in a Mix 1/2/3. Can turn form around here. FOUR BARRYS (4) has a strong record here with 11 wins and 10 placings from 30 starts. In the money last time at Grafton (20.10) in a NG, finishing a 3 length third. Can feature in the finish. GOLD RUSH LAD (7) missed the frame latest but had been racing well prior to that including a Free For All win two back (23.31) at this track. Can improve sharply here. MELISSA'S LADY (1) deserves plenty of thought over this journey.

Good effort at double-figure odds last time when second (23.44) over 400m at this track. Has a low draw. Has to do a bit more.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage seventh last time out over 400m at this track. Has failed to show enough to come into contention.
