The Gardens Race 5 - More From Tote With Ladbrokes 1-3 Win

OPTIMISM (1) is a promising type who notched her 2nd career success when too good (29.56) at Richmond last time. Has an impeccable record at this journey winning all two. Winner at her latest appearance in the quickest time on the card. Hard to fault her form and she makes plenty of appeal. JUST GO GIRL (3) proved too good on debut over 340m at Gunnedah to score by 0.8 lengths (19.78). Harder here but expected to feature again. RHONDA'S RUPEES (2) was strongly fancied last time but finished fourth (23.07) at this track, bringing a two-run winning streak to an end. Smart beginner who should take advantage of the low draw. Key runner who gets his chance to atone. TIGER'S GAMBIT (8) can add to a sequence of top-three finishes.

Good effort last time when second (30.14) over 515m at this track. Jumps from a wide draw. Will need plenty of luck.
