Gosford Race 12

Ladbrokes Odds Surge 1-2 Win

Prize Money: $2,310

DARK AS DAWN (1) missed the frame and was safely held latest finishing 7th at Richmond following on from a third place finish (22.65) at this track the start prior. Solid record here at the distance winning two races. Cannot be taken lightly. STAR ELISE (8) was below best last time finishing eighth at this track, but prior to that had been racing well including a Grade 5 win two back at this track. Key player on best and worth another try. ROAD TO IBROX (6) has top-three aspirations after placing at big odds last time.

Suited by inside box. Latest effort finished 7th on June 26 over 320m at Richmond behind Cheeky Cheeky beaten 15 lengths (19.28) in a Grade 5. Missed the frame last time but prior to that had three placings in a row. Deserves another chance.
