The Gardens Race 8 - Ladbrokes Popular Srm

COUSIN SAL (5) is progressing well with another good run last time, placing (30.02) from Box 8 at Gosford. Has a strong record from box 5, including two wins. Racing well and deserves a win. PAY ME (1) is better than last start when fourth (29.59) from Box 6 at Gosford over 515m. Good beginner assisted by the inside draw. Can do much better this time. TURN UP ACE (4) has a strong record here including two wins from three starts. Below best last time at Gosford (29.98) in a Grade 5, finishing a 7 length fifth. Can feature in the finish. KAELIX NITRO (8) has strong credentials from this draw.

Has been in the minors the last two, the latest showing strong pace early but gathered in and finished a 2.5 lengths second over 515m Gosford in 30.02. Good beginner who will take catching despite the middle draw.
