The Gardens Race 2 - Ladbrokes Popular Srm 1-2 Win
WOW ACE (4) has been beaten for early speed lately, last time finishing sixth (23.16) in a Grade 5 at Maitland. Good beginner but will need a little luck from a middle draw. Has ability and looks hard to stop. REBORN HARMONY (1) broke through for her maiden success last time out at this track over 400m (23.19). Can make it back-to-back wins. DEADLY VENOM (8) comes off a sharp 22.85 placing at this track over 400m. Fast run latest and rates a key player again. VINNIE ZACAPA (2) can return to form after missing the top-three at this circuit last time out.

Snuck into the minor money last time when a 5.5 lengths second at this track but did record a decent 22.85 over the 400m journey. Hard to top with a repeat of that run.
