The Gardens Race 6 - Ladbrokes Popular Srm 1-2 Win
DARLEY BOY (2) was well fancied to win maiden two back then finished fourth last start (23.38) at this track over 400m. Back to track where he won his maiden. Better than last run and makes appeal this time. ALCARAZ (1) is having his first look at this course. In the money last start when second (22.92) at Bulli over 400m. Consistent performer from this draw with a win and four minor placings to his credit. Can feature again. KISS AND RUN (5) was in the minors two back (16.10) at this track but ran below best last time at Taree Super Track, finishing 8th. Good beginner but will need a little luck from a middle draw. Should play a prominent role. SUNDOWN (7) can play a role in the finish without surprising.

Placed last time (22.92) at Bulli in a Grade 5, finishing second and beaten 2 lengths. Goes well out of this box with a win and four minors. Makes strong appeal.

Hasn't shown any early speed lately and tends to spot them a start in his races, The latest effort was a 12 length fifth over 400m at this track. Not keen, needs to lift.

Has not shown much in recent runs. Could only manage eighth last time out over 400m at this track. Not among the main chances this time.

Fast starter. Latest effort finished last in a Grade 5 on January 17 over 300m at Taree Super Track behind Big Cutie beaten 13 lengths (18.35). The form out of the last run measures up. Hard to beat.

Missed the frame latest (23.52) when fifth over 400m at this track in a Grade 5. Starts from box 8 for the first time here. Looks a place chance at best.
