The Gardens Race 6 - The Ladbrokes 715 Heat 2 H
PAX BOSTONIA (6) has some solid form under his belt and proved too classy last time to win by 3 lengths at Nowra in a handy 35.99 beating Intrepid Eagle. Winner at his latest appearance in the quickest time on the card. Can make it two on the bounce. MEPUNGA LARA (7) boasts a strong record this journey with 12 wins and seven minors from 26 tries. Placed last time (41.76) at Wentworth Park in a NG, finishing third and beaten 3.5 lengths. Looks one of the chances. NANGAR POLLY (2) is having her first look at this track. Strong winner last time by 1.75 lengths at Dubbo in a NG in the quickest time on the program (34.65). Ran the fastest time on the program in her latest win. Leading chance again. VODKA AND ICE (3) won last start in the fastest time on the card. Hard to beat again.

Hit the frame at Gunnedah last time when a 6 length second but did record a handy 30.36 over the 527m journey. Can sneak a place again.

Was among the placegetters latest at Wentworth Park when a 3.5 lengths third but did clock a head turning 41.76 over the 720m journey. Hard to top with a repeat of that run.
