The Gardens Race 11 - Ladbrokes Top 2/3/4 Betting

SUDDEN SURPRISE (8) dropped out early but hit the line hard, charging into second and beaten 3.5 lengths win (15.97) at this track in Grade 5. Good beginner but will need a little luck early crossing from an outside draw. Capable of going well again. GOLDEN GORT (7) was midfield throughout and finished there last time when 4th (16.10) at this track. Must be included in calculations. RAINING BOURBON (2) boasts a strong record this journey here with three wins and two minors from seven tries. In the money last time at Taree Super Track (17.73) in a Grade 4/5, finishing a 6 length third. With even luck and a clean start should be thereabouts. DRINK ROSE (1) warrants respect with the drop in distance.

Big odds last time but gave a huge sight after a fast early split, grabbed late but holding on to a placing when a 6 length third (17.73) over 300m at Taree Super Track. Coming out of a very strong form race. Expected to go well.
