The Gardens Race 12 - Ladbrokes Top 2/3/4 Betting
SAHARA PEARL (7) settled back from out wide but wound up hard into the minor money, finishing 5.5 lengths from the winner (23.16) at this track in Grade 5. Can find winning form. DON'T DO IT (1) has not raced since scoring (23.85) over 400m at this track 12 weeks ago. Expected to feature on best form. TARA REBEL (2) turned in a better effort at Maitland last start, finishing second behind Chevy The Beast (22.83) in a Grade 5. Turned chasing the leaders but kept coming. Can measure up. KICKER ZOOM (3) found the frame for the second consecutive time when narrowly beaten into third last time out (22.78) over 400m at Maitland.

Resuming from a 12 weeks spell and worth noting was a fresh up winner last time in, scoring in 16.05 at big odds over 272m at this track. Still to win from this draw but has been in the placings two times. Top chance.

Big odds last time but gave a huge sight after a fast early split, grabbed late but holding on to a placing when a 1.5 lengths second (22.83) over 400m at Maitland. Top-three hope with the right run.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (23.46) in a Grade 5, finishing a 6 length fifth. Goes well out of this box with a win and four minors. Tough field and looking to others this time.
