The Gardens Race 10 - Ladbrokes Popular Srm
HOT TO RULE (2) showed good early speed and led throughout to score his maiden two back then finished second last start and beaten 0.8 lengths at this track over 400m (23.13). Yet to win here but has run some good races. Well placed here and looks a top prospect. KALANI SEA (5) goes very well over this trip including two wins. Below best last time at this track (24.00) in a Grade 5, finishing a 15 length sixth. Looks suited here and can measure up. NOAH'S MEKONG (1) showed good pace from out wide and was prominent throughout before fading out of it when 7th at Taree Super Track in a Grade 5. The form out of the last run is proven to be strong. Likely to be about the mark. MASTER MURRAYA (8) is worth a look over a shorter trip this time.

Didn't make the placings last time at Taree Super Track (18.45) in a Grade 5, finishing a 7 length seventh. Goes well out of this box with a win and two minors. Leading player.

Flew the lids with a fast early split but had to contend with second when clocking 23.13 over 400m at this track. Should be right in the finish.

Should get a clear run from the wide draw. Wasn't impressive last start but does have a great record at this track and distance, look for improvement. Not out of it.
