The Gardens Race 8 - Ladbrokes Odds Surge
CHOPPER EXPRESS (4) ran below best last time finishing fifth (30.16) over 515m at this track in a Grade 4/5. Solid record here at the distance winning three races. Better than the latest run and deserves another chance. LET'S TROT FOX (3) had won two in a row before finishing second (22.68) last time at Maitland. Solid record at the distance winning six races. Expecting another good run. LOOK FOR LIONEL (6) stalked the lead from a middle box before hitting the front turning and lifting to score (29.68) at Gosford in a Grade 5 over 515m. Ran one of the fastest times on the program in his latest win. Has hit winning form and can go on with it. MY MOON SHADOW (7) boasts a solid strike-rate from this box.

Has not shown much in recent runs. Could only manage fourth last time out over 515m at this track. Others make more appeal.

Hit the frame latest (22.68) when second at Maitland in a Mix 1/2/3. Has two successes and three minors from 10 starts from box 3. Key chance and should go close.

Was prominent from the outset and held on well to win at Gosford over 515m in 29.68 last start, beating Double Dealings. Has never missed the frame in four starts from the draw. Solid prospects.

Missed the frame last start when sixth and beaten 7 lengths at Gosford. Form solid prior to that including a win at this track three back. Could pose a serious challenge if finds best this time.

Missed the frame latest (23.33) when fifth over 400m at this track in a Grade 5. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed three times. Tough field and looking to others this time.
