The Gardens Race 7 - Ladbrokes Popular Srm
IT'S A TEASE (1) was in the money last time at this track (29.77) in a Grade 5, finishing a 3.5 lengths second. Has already won five times from this draw. Expected to be in the finish. FASCINATE JOSIE (8) stalked the pace from a low draw last start and fought on well to finish 8 lengths away in third (30.28) at Wentworth Park in a Grade 5 over 520m. Expected to be in the finish again. HEADING SOUTH (2) has missed the frame at his last two runs but could not have been more impressive the run prior in his dominant 19.57 win at Gunnedah over 340m. Top win three back and rates a key player again. TEQUILA GIRL (3) is a last-start placegetter at big odds who will have admirers.

Flew the lids with a fast early split last time, hitting the frame with a 3.5 lengths second (29.77) over 515m at this track and making it two placings on end. Form from this draw is very strong, including five wins. Hard to beat.

Did a good job two starts back at Taree Super Track to win by 2.5 lengths in 30.51, beating Distortion. Last start finished 4th over 515m at this track beaten 8 lengths (30.65) behind Bad Knees in a Grade 5 on June 20. Hard to envisage a win.

Could only manage sixth last time but the start prior hit the frame when second (22.80) over 400m at Maitland. Boxed out wide but is worth plenty of thought.
