The Gardens Race 5 - The Racecourse Hotel
REAL BONNIE (1) is progressing well with another good run last time, placing (29.90) from Box 7 at Gosford. Recorded one of the quickest times on the card last start despite being beaten. Deserves serious consideration. JASPER DARKE (2) was well fancied in betting last start but could only manage 2.5 lengths away in third (22.93). Safe beginner who has drawn to advantage. Nicely placed to grab a well-deserved win. MOLLY MISS (6) is a handy type who was well below best latest at Gunnedah, finishing seventh (30.87) in a NG. Generally a good beginner but was buried in the ruck off the inside last time. Speedy beginner who can find the front despite the tricky draw. Has ability and can measure up. CESSNOCK CURTAIN (4) returns here as an each-way chance.

Has been in the money the last two runs. Finished second at Gosford in 29.90 last time but the start prior clocked a hot 29.46 over 515m finishing second at this track. Looks the one to beat on run two back.

Racing well without winning, recording five minors on end, the latest hitting the ground running with a fast early sectional but finishing in the minors again when third (22.93) over 400m at this track. Overdue and expected to feature again.

Did a good job two starts back at this track to win by one length in 29.53, beating Red Hot Tina. Last start finished 6th in a Grade 4/5 on June 5 over 515m at this track behind Zipping Viper beaten 4.5 lengths (30.14). Doesn't profile as a likely winner.

Ordinary effort last start when she was slow out over 527m at Gunnedah. Prior to that won by 1.5 lengths at Gunnedah (30.17) beating My Pharaoh in a NG on May 20. Comes through a good form race. Looks a top chance.
