The Gardens Race 5 - Ladbrokes Popular Srm 1-4 Win Ht 1 H
REAL BONNIE (1) missed the frame latest when fifth at this track (30.44) but was a winner five back in the best time of the program. Form here at the trip sound including three wins. Strong form has emerged from her last run. Ready to return to form. JUST US BOYS (2) was strongly supported last start when a short priced favourite and duly saluted winning by one length at this track in a handy 30.17. Fair draw can see a good run and goes well at this distance. Can make it back-to-back wins. DEADLY VENOM (4) looks close to another win after hitting the frame in a one length second (23.14) in a Grade 5 at this track. Must be included in calculations. KALANI CHRIS (5) should bounce back after an unplaced effort here recently.

Found some support last start but struggled and finished 5th over 515m at this track beaten 9 lengths (30.44) behind Digger Sure Can in a Grade 5 on April 10. Placed two back at Gosford. Comes out of a hot form race. Worth following up.

Finished second (23.14) at this track last time making it four placings in a row. Drawn awkwardly. Deserves respect.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage seventh last time out over 400m at this track. Others read better.
