Nowra Race 5

Bechini & Associates 5Th Grade Heat 2 H

Prize Money: $2,335

TOWERING EARL (1) goes very well this course and distance starting six times for three wins and two minors. Below best last time at this track (21.35) in a Grade 5, finishing a 10 length sixth. Expected to be in the finish. ZIPPING BERKELEY (2) had a tricky draw last time and although midfield in fourth wasn't far away finishing 2.25 lengths from the winner (30.10). Form from her last run is proving strong. Has the ability to give this a shake. SKEDADDLE PERCY (7) missed the frame and safely held latest finishing 6th at this track following on from a win (20.94) there the start prior. Worth another chance. RUTHLESS ANGEL (4) can sneak into the finish with the right run.

Did a good job two starts back at this track to win by 0.8 lengths in 20.94, beating Gramercy Gift. Last start finished 6th in a Grade 5 on February 2 over 365m at this track behind Skedaddle Louise beaten 13 lengths (21.45). Not far away last start. Right in the mix again.
