Nowra Race 4

Ladbrokes 5Th Grade Final F

Prize Money: $6,135

ZIPPING CRUELLA (2) showed blistering pace early and gave a sight when in the minors, beaten a nose over 520m this track in 29.79. Can find winning form. HEY MARTY (1) was strongly fancied on the back of a win two starts back but finished second last time (30.23) at this track. Solid formlines coming through his last run. Expected to be in the finish again. ZIPPING TRUCKER (6) was in the money last time at this track (30.14) in a Grade 5, finishing a 5.5 lengths third. Has already won two times from this draw. Among the main chances. SKETCHY STORY (7) showed great speed to lead all the way last start. Will be thereabouts.

Flew the lids with a fast early split but had to contend with second when clocking 29.79 over 520m at this track. Although unsuccessful last time still ran one of the quickest times on the card. Stick with her.

Backs up quickly after winning by half a length at this track (30.13) beating Rocking Highway in a Mix on January 26 three days ago. This is much harder assignment and he needs to find another gear.

Good effort to win last start by a neck over 520m at this track in a handy (30.21), beating Hey Marty. Will find this a bit tougher, doesn't look smart enough to threaten the top few.
