The Gardens Race 5

The Lids Fly On Ladbrokes Live 1 Win

Prize Money: $2,310

VALKYRIE HEAT (8) Faded to finish 5th last time at this track. Capable of bouncing back and has a good draw. Will be positive in the run early. Hard to overlook. RICARDO GOT ZIP (3) First run back from a break. Picked up late to win last start at Taree in 17.53s over 300m and having second career run. Should race on the speed. Respect in this event. LADY MAY (1) Looked outclassed when 8th last start around here. Can make a comeback and can save some energy from the box. Expecting to settle positively. Each way a good option. COCO BELLA (2) Charged home to win last time here in 23.26s over 400m and demonstrating upward trajectory in recent races. Will be pushing for a forward position early. Goes very close.

Lost ground in the run home when 8th last start at this venue. Can make a comeback and will appreciate a good box. Should be going forward early. Has claims.

Bold effort when winning last time around here in 23.26s over 400m and displaying improvement over the past few runs. Likely to be well placed early. Value play.
