The Gardens Race 10

The Ladbrokes 715 - Friday May 1

Prize Money: $3,315

RELEASE POINT (1) was among the minors three back at Wentworth Park then missed the frame the last two, but drawn box 1 this time where he has five wins. Can turn form around here. OCCULENT (3) finished third (30.48) two back at Taree Super Track but out of the placings last time when 6th at Maitland. Form here at the trip sound including two wins. The form out of the last run is proven to be strong. Shapes as one to consider. GRETA (2) produced a moderate run last time when seventh at Wentworth Park over 520m behind Billy Ray's Girl (30.94) in a Grade 5. The form out of the last run is proven to be strong. One of the better chances. NANGAR CHARM (6) was in the money last start and poses a threat again.

Returns from a four-and-a-half months break and only other fresh up run was on debut when placed over 520m at Wentworth Park. Some good form emerging from that last run. Among the chances.

Didn't make the placings last time at Taree Super Track (30.99) in a Grade 4/5, finishing a 10 length fifth. Goes very well from the draw boasting two places from three starts. Among the chances on best.

Expected Early Speed:Front Runner
