Nowra Race 7

Sgrc Presidents Sprint

Prize Money: $5,875

MANILA GHOST (8) broke from the inside draw and filled a minor placing last start, beaten only 2 lengths (18.15) behind Gus And Glory at Richmond. Won at her only start from this draw. Top chance in this line up. WHERE'S FERNANDO (4) is worth forgiving last start after finishing fifth (17.70) from Box 2 at Richmond Straight over 324m. Has a strong record out of this box with five wins and two minor placings from nine starts. Worth following up. CAWBOURNE FOCUS (6) caught the eye when posting a lightning 19.52 over 350m at Goulburn. This tougher but expected to be in the finish. KICKING BINS (2) has strong claims after a top-three finish last time out.

Jumped well at this track two runs back then again settled forward and finished second at this track last start over 365m from this same draw. Recorded one of the quickest times on the card last time despite being beaten. Follow up.

Good effort to win last start by 0.8 lengths over 365m at this track in a handy (20.93), beating Nicko Ace. Will find this a bit tougher, likely to find this a bit tough.

Won two starts back at Temora over 330m in 18.64. Couldn't repeat the feat last time out when fifth over 365m at this track at NG level. Needs to find a bit more to test these.

Strongly fancied last time and hit the ground running with a fast early split, paving the way for a half a length win at Goulburn over 350m in 19.52. The form out of the last run measures up. Hard to beat.

Was a winner three back at this track then finished in the minors before missing the frame last time when fifth (30.73) at Wentworth Park. Tough field and looking to others this time.
