The Gardens Race 10

Bishop Collins

Prize Money: $2,335

EXTREME BLUE (3) has a strong overall record having three wins and four places from 10 starts including a last start second (17.38) over 300m at Taree Super Track. Form here at the trip excellent including two wins. Rates highly here and will go close. HOOKED ON HOPE (1) was checked in the run and safely held when eighth (23.08) in a Grade 5 over 388m at Gosford. Can do much better this time. ZIPPING SEVERUS (2) has been settling off the speed lately, finishing fourth (22.96) last time in a Mix 3/4 at Gosford. A forward showing wouldn't surprise. EARLY CONCRETE (5) is worth consideration after filling a hole at big odds last start.

Last start finished 4th over 388m at Gosford beaten 6 lengths (22.96) behind Tilly Tippett in a Mix 3/4 on June 30. Has been around the mark at his last couple and should make his presence felt.

Missed the frame latest (23.28) when fifth over 400m at this track in a Grade 5. Has a win and four places from five starts from this draw. Has ability and should be around the money.
