The Gardens Race 10 - Ladbrokes Blackbook
ICE ON FIRE (8) stalked the lead then burst clear to score (22.79) at this track in a Grade 5 over 400m. Good beginner but will need a little luck early crossing from an outside draw. Hard to fault his recent form and can win again. JET FUEL (1) was safely held last time out, finishing fifth at this track over 400m behind Star (23.17) in a Grade 5. Some good form is emerging from his last run. Better than the latest run and deserves another chance. LIGHTNING BLITZ (2) turned in a plain run last time when sixth at this track over 400m behind Star (23.33) in a Grade 5. The form from his last run is stacking up nicely. Key runner who gets his chance to atone. MY IRISH (3) is new to this circuit but should be in the mix.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (23.17) in a Grade 5, finishing a 6 length fifth. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed two times. Leading player.

Has been in the minor money the last two runs, the latest at big odds finishing third (20.12) at Gunnedah. Drawn awkwardly. Looks to have the job ahead.

Country racer who only starts fairly, coming off mixed results. Was 3rd last start over 431m at Gunnedah (25.44) beaten 2 lengths, behind Lektra Bella in Grade 5 on November 3. Will have to be at his best; this appears within his reach.

Has not shown much in recent runs. Could only manage sixth last time out over 272m at this track. Prepared to risk.

Lifted to win two runs back and scored again last start over 400m at this track (22.79,) beating Golden Pharaoh. Form strong and a huge chance to register the hat-trick.
