The Gardens Race 11 - Ladbrokes Top 2/3/4 Betting Masters
SPARKY KEY (6) was in the placings last time but prior to that she ran a flying 22.73 win over 400m at this track. Has the ability and expected to go close again. AUSSIE RATTLER (1) was below best at his last start when 6th at Maitland following a second place finish (22.88) there two back. Reliable out of the boxes and should take advantage of the inside draw. Has the ability to give this a shake. TIGER KEY CHUM (7) struggled to get involved last start at Maitland, but prior to that won by a nose at Maitland (22.72) beating Ibrox High in a Maiden on September 14. Safe beginner but wide box to overcome and will need some luck. Worth another chance. RITZA ROCKER (4) placed last start and is in the mix again.

Drawn the outside box and could be suited with some luck. Goes ok at this track and distance but recent form not good enough, not among the main chances this time.
