The Gardens Race 2 - @Thegardensgrnsw Masters

ROB YOU BLIND (2) turned in a fair 4th placed finish last time at this track over 400m (23.53). Comes through a solid form race last start. Has ability and is a key runner. ROAD TO IBROX (4) scored an upset win at big odds last time in a Grade 5 at this track (22.97). Solid record at the distance winning eight races. The form out of the last run is proven to be strong. Expected to feature again. ASTON MENDES (1) was in the money last time out when second and beaten 2 lengths at Nowra over 365m (21.28). Has been out the placings in all six runs here.
