The Gardens Race 2

Ladbrokes Blackbook 0-1 Win

Prize Money: $3,110

IBROX MAVERICK (8) could manage only fourth at this track last time but turned heads when posting a solid 29.66 over 515m at this track the start prior. Rates a top chance if runs up to time two back. NIPPY ZESTA (1) was in the money last start when second in a Mix in 29.94, clocking one of the quickest times on the card and a personal best this course and distance as well. Rates a leading chance if runs up to latest. CALL TRUE BLUE (2) turned spotting a big start finishing eighth (30.54) last time in a Mix at this track. Can do much better this time. KIPYEGON (4) placed at first outing and can only be improved. Worth considering.

In the money last time at this track (29.94) in a Mix, finishing a 4.5 lengths second. Has performed well off the draw with a win and two places from four starts. Looks a key chance on best form.

Ran a nice race on debut when settled off the speed early but got home well to finish second (30.33) at this track over 515m. Holds top-three claims.

Started big odds last time but hit the ground running with a slick early split, giving a sight but fading out of it to finish fourth (30.10) at this track over 515m. Others have better credentials.
