The Gardens Race 5

Ladbrokes Odds Surge 1 Win

Stake: $2,495

ISABELLA'S FIRE (5) got around 400m in a respectable 22.83 when winning a Maiden at this track last start. Can measure up again if runs up to latest time. HOOKED ON IRAOLA (7) drifted back from wide but charged home to hit the frame when 5.5 lengths from the winner (23.19) at this track in Grade 5. Expected to be in this for a long way. BELLA RORY (1) has been hard to follow lately, running sixth (23.85) last time but prior to that ran very well when placed at this track. Can feature with the right run. LUCID RIVAL (8) is not to be discarded.

Suited by inside box. Latest effort finished 6th over 400m at this track beaten 9 lengths (23.85) behind That's Mine in a Grade 5 on April 11. Below best last time but looks well placed here. Deserves another chance.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage fourth last time out over 388m at Gosford. Can't recommend against this lot.

Nice debut win two starts ago then last start finished 2nd over 515m at this track beaten 5.5 lengths (30.31) behind Starfire Tears in a Maiden on May 2. Others make more appeal.

Settled midfield on debut but made ground. Won easily by 8 lengths at this track (22.83) beating Cool Blue You in a Maiden on May 3. Will find this much tougher but she's got good box manners and speed. Back in great order and makes plenty of appeal again.
