The Gardens Race 7 - Bishop Collins
HI LO RAIN (2) turned in a plain performance last time when seventh at Gosford over 388m behind Hands On Tina (22.85) in a Grade 5. Remains without a win from the draw but has been in the placings two times from three attempts. Worth another chance. LIZZIE LONG LEGS (8) has a strong winning strike-rate here with three wins and a placing from eight tries. Missed the frame latest (21.06) when fourth over 365m at Nowra in a NG. Looks one of the chances. FASCINATE JOHN (1) broke a string of placings finishing in the money three on end before a last start fourth (30.25) at Wentworth Park. Solid record here winning seven races. Expected to feature in the finish. KALANI SKY (6) gets a chance to improve on an unplaced run at her latest outing at this circuit.

Didn't make the placings last time at Gosford (22.85) in a Grade 5, finishing a 6 length seventh. Yet to win but has placed two times from this draw. Looks hard to beat with even luck.
