The Gardens Race 8 - Ladbrokes Big Bets Copy Now

ZIPPING OSAKA (3) was game in defeat off the inside draw last start, finishing second and beaten 0.8 lengths (23.25) behind Drop A Stack at this track. Deserves serious consideration. MISS ELPHABA (2) had a tricky draw and ran well to finish second, beaten a neck, (23.29) at this track. Form from her last run is proving to be solid. Leading player again. IMPERATOR (1) has been hard to follow lately, running sixth (23.66) last time but prior to that ran very well when placed at this track. This looks easier and expected to improve sharply. MAJOR FORTE (4) collected a minor prize last start as public elect - must be considered.

Strongly fancied last time and hit the ground running with a slick early split, giving a sight but could manage only third (23.14) at Maitland over 400m. Capable of a good showing.
