The Gardens Race 9 - Ladbrokes Racing Extras In Multi

RUNAWAY SAM (2) was out of the placings last time when fifth at this track (23.51) but scored three back at Bendigo (24.36). Looks the one to beat on his best form. MAJOR FORTE (5) has a strong record this journey with two wins and a minor from five starts. Hit the frame latest (30.26) when third at this track in a Grade 5. Can hit the frame with the right run. BELLA RORY (1) has a moderate overall strike-rate. Finished in the minors latest when third (23.57) at this track and may be close to breaking through. Leading player again. SOFT WHISPER (8) gets a chance to redeem an unplaced effort here last start.
