The Gardens Race 9

Ladbrokes Blackbook

Stake: $2,495

RIPPER FREDA (2) goes very well this course and distance starting nine times for four wins and three minors. Comes off a (19.40) win last time, scoring by 8 lengths in a Grade 5 over 340m at Gunnedah. Appeals as a leading chance in this. FASCINATE VERN (3) boasts a strong record this course with four wins and four minors from 12 tries. Recorded a 1.75 lengths win (22.37) in a Grade 5 last time at Gosford. With even luck and a clean start should be around the money. ATOMIC WHACKER (1) wasn't far away at the finish when 4th and beaten only 4.5 lengths (23.49) at this track. Safe beginner who draws ideally on the inside. In the mix.

Hit the frame latest (22.57) when third at Gosford in a Mix 3/4. Has performed well off the draw with a win and nine places from 16 starts. Looks a place chance at best.

Good effort to win last start by a nose over 388m at Gosford in a handy (22.48), beating Sunrise Cruiser. Will find this a bit tougher, doesn't profile as a likely winner.
