The Gardens Race 9 - The Ladbrokes 715 Heat 5 H
SURIBACHI (1) ran below her best last time finishing fifth (42.73) over 720m at Wentworth Park in a NG. Form at this distance is sound. Is yet to taste defeat in three starts from this draw. Should be very hard to beat this time. STARFIRE TEARS (2) ran the fastest on the card last time scoring by 4 lengths (41.44) at Q Parklands. Looks a primary danger. TEMPTING DASH (5) is a talented dog who is a winner of seven races and filled a minor placing latest when third at Q Lakeside (30.82). Strong form has emerged from her last run. Bold showing expected. MIDNIGHT QUEEN (3) was strongly fancied last time on the back of some good form but disappointed when fourth (35.28) at Q Parklands. The form from her last run is stacking up nicely.

Suited by inside box. Last start finished 5th on April 4 over 720m at Wentworth Park behind Vodka And Ice beaten 11 lengths (42.73) in a NG. The form out of the last run measures up. Hard to beat.

Missed the frame last start when fourth and beaten 12 lengths at Q Parklands. Form solid prior to that including a win at Q Lakeside three back. Better than last run and looks an each way chance.

Form has been solid with minor placings at his last three starts. Last time out finished 3rd over 520m at Wentworth Park beaten 8 lengths (29.68) behind Off The Chart in a NG on April 11. Happy enough to dismiss in this field.

Having her first run at this track and trip. Last start finished third at Q Lakeside over 550m in (30.82). Can adapt and make her presence felt.

Returns from a four months spell and did win when last resuming, scoring in 35.29 over 622m at Richmond. Comes out of a hot form race. Worth following up.
