The Gardens Race 5 - Bishop Collins 1-2 Win
HOOKED ON JOY (2) was quickly out of the boxes with a slick early sectional clocking 22.76 with a 4.5 lengths win at this track over 400m. Some good form is emerging from her last run. Can continue the winning form. BILLY BLINDERS (1) finds it hard to win. Finished second (22.87) at this track latest and might be close to finding winning form again. Safe beginner who draws ideally on the inside. Expected to be in the finish again. DON'T DO IT (8) was in the money last start and poses a threat again.

Showed strong pace early but found one better when a half a length second over 400m this track in 22.87. Safe beginner and drawn to feature off the inside rail.

Good effort to score just six days ago over 400m at this track by 4.5 lengths in a Grade 5. Was strongly supported and ran right away with it last time. Follow up.

Did a good job two starts back at this track to win by 2.25 lengths in 23.04, beating Scotch Lass. Last start finished 6th on January 30 over 400m at this track behind Sandra Keeping beaten 13 lengths (23.69) in a Grade 5. Hard to have this time.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage eighth last time out over 400m at this track. Other runners look much more appealing.

Was out of placings last time when fourth (18.81) at Richmond in a Grade 5. Will jump from box 5 for the first time. Looks a place chance at best.

Missed the frame last time but was in the minors two on end prior to that, the most recent when second (23.10) over 400m at this track. Tough draw to overcome and looks a each way chance only this field.

Flew the lids with a quick early split but had to settle for the minor money when third (23.35) over 400m at this track. Better than the last couple of runs suggest. Expected to feature.
