Ladbrokes Bet Ticker 1-3 Win

Prize Money: $3,110

SPARKY KEY (2) jumped from the inside and boxed on well to finish third last time, beaten 1.5 lengths (30.06) behind Smooth White at The Gardens. Likely to feature again. RITZY RITZY (3) started big odds last time but hit the ground running with a strong early split, giving a sight but fading only late to finish third (23.25) at The Gardens over 400m. Well placed and gets his chance. RUGGED ETHICS (1) doesn't have the best strike-rate but recent form is sound. Has finished in the money at the last five runs. Ran one of the fastest times on the program last start despite finishing in the minors. Well placed and gets his chance. JUST SAVAGE (4) has ability and finds the right scenario to bounce back.

Flew the lids with a fast early split last time, hitting the frame with a 6 length third (23.25) over 400m at The Gardens and making it two placings on end. Leading chance who should prove hard to beat.
