The Gardens Race 7 - Ladbrokes Popular Srm
MARG'S VOGUE (4) is a quick beginner who bombed the start last time and missed the frame, finishing seventh (22.91) in a Grade 3/4 at Gosford. Fast away and won (22.91) at Gosford the start prior. Has a good record here including five wins. Solid beginner who can clear the tricky draw. Tough to beat if on-song. SMART COMET (3) wasn't far away at the finish when 4th and beaten only 4 lengths (23.32) at this track. Speedy beginner who should be prominent early on from an inside box. Likely to be about the mark. FLYING GODDESS (1) has been beaten for early speed lately, last time finishing fourth (30.88) in a Grade 4/5 at Taree Super Track. Solid record here winning eight races. Has a strong record out of this box with five wins and four minor placings from 12 starts. Must be included in calculations. SHANGHAI SPY (2) is worth including after a top-three finish most recently.

Missed the frame latest (30.88) when fourth over 525m at Taree Super Track in a Grade 4/5. Goes very well off the draw boasting five wins and four places from 12 starts. Makes appeal on best.

Form has been good with a placing two starts ago and a win three runs back. Last time out finished 2nd over 400m at this track beaten one length (22.94) behind Speed Dial in a Grade 4/5 on May 15. Looks a solid contender.

Hit the ground running with a slick early sectional but ran over late and missed the frame when a 4 length fourth (23.32) over 400m at this track. Recorded two placings in a row prior to the latest effort. Worth another chance.

Fast starter. Latest effort finished 7th in a Grade 3/4 on May 19 over 388m at Gosford behind Federal Senor beaten 14 lengths (22.91). Has a sharp 22.92 PB at this course and distance. Hard to beat.

Recent form has been ordinary and she is facing a tougher line up. Needs to do more. Others better.

Won two starts back at this track over 515m in 29.83. Couldn't repeat the feat last time out when fifth over 520m at Wentworth Park at Grade 5 level. Not suited by wide draw, can't recommend against this lot.

Got back last start and could only manage fifth but before that won easily by 6 lengths at this track (22.83) beating Fascinate Abby in a Grade 5 on April 17. Likely to find this too tough.
