The Gardens Race 7

The Ladbrokes 715 Heat 3 H

Prize Money: $10,500

TEXAS PRESIDENT (3) has a strong record this trip with five wins and five placings from 12 starts. Placed last time (42.20) at Cannington in a OPEN, finishing second and beaten 1.5 lengths. Looks a key chance on best form. ELECTRIFY (2) produced an impressive win last time in quickest of the meeting when scoring by 13 lengths (41.33) at Sandown. This tougher but expected to be in the finish. FADE TO BLACK (8) turned spotting a big start finishing sixth (42.37) last time in a NG at Wentworth Park. Form at the trip sound including four wins. Solid formlines coming through his last run. Can do much better this time. ZIPPING MOONEY (1) can finish much closer after missing a cheque at this track last start.

Missed the frame last time but finished in the minors at big odds two back when second (41.68) over 720m at Wentworth Park. Has a fair record off the rails draw and is among the better hopes.

Consistent performer who is new here. Nice win last start easily by 13 lengths at Sandown (41.33) beating Charlestown in a Special conditions race on April 13. Recorded two placings in a row before he was rewarded with a win most recently. Expected to go well again.

In the money last time at Cannington (42.20) in a OPEN, finishing a 1.5 lengths second. Goes well out of this box with a win and four minors. Looks hard to beat with even luck.

Could only manage seventh last time but placed two on end prior to that, the latest when third (41.87) over 710m at Q Parklands. Boxed out wide and needs to bounce back.

Didn't make the placings last time at Wentworth Park (42.37) in a NG, finishing a 8 length sixth. Has two wins and three placings from six starts from the draw. Looks a leading chance.
