The Gardens Race 4 - Bishop Collins
FASCINATE JOHN (1) has been beaten for early speed lately, last time finishing sixth (30.72) in a NG at this track. Solid record here winning five races. Has ability and is a key runner. SWEET BEVELY ANN (4) chased the lead early from the inside and boxed on well to finish second, beaten a nose (19.87) at Gunnedah in a Grade 5 over 340m. Winning chance. SMOOTH WHITE (7) has a strong record this track and trip with eight wins and five placings from 23 starts. Below best last time at Gosford (29.70) in a NG, finishing a 5.5 lengths fifth. With even luck and a clean start should be thereabouts. LARNIE'S MAGIC (2) warrants respect following a recent placing over this course and distance.

Hit the frame latest (19.87) when second at Gunnedah in a Grade 5. Has two successes and four minors from eight starts from box 4. Makes strong appeal.

Hit the ground running with a slick early sectional but ran over late and missed the frame when a 1.5 lengths fourth (30.24) over 515m at this track. Others better.

Won two starts back at this track over 515m in 29.79. Couldn't repeat the feat last time out when fifth over 515m at Gosford at NG level. Can bounce back. One of the main chances.

Won two starts back after racing on the pace at this track over 515m in 30.14. Couldn't repeat the feat last time out when fourth over 340m at Bulli at Grade 4/5 level. Hard to envisage a win.
