The Gardens Race 10 - Ladbrokes Blackbook
CHIEF ENFORCER (1) missed the hat-trick last start when third and beaten 3.5 lengths (23.09) last time at this track. Can find winning form. MISS ELPHABA (2) shapes well after a speedy run last time, finishing second in a Grade 5 at this track in 22.64. Expecting another bold showing. SUNDOWN (8) was well backed last start but ran below expectations when fourth (23.38), beaten 4.5 lengths. Was in the money the start prior. The form out of last race has been strong. Better than last start and can bounce back. BLAZING BLUE ICE (7) can play a role in the finish without surprising.

Hit the ground running last time with a fast early split and never headed, leading throughout to win by 2 lengths (22.84) over 400m at this track. Must be a winning chance again.

Ended last campaign with a sixth (26.58) in a GR 4/5 at Maitland and returns after a five months break. Excels fresh, unbeaten from four starts. Others make more appeal.

Well fancied last start but could only manage fourth over 400m at this track in 23.38. Had been going well prior to that. Previous form sound and worth another chance.
