Nowra Race 5

Ladbrokes Blackbook

Prize Money: $3,315

ASHBY GNOCCHI (1) goes very well over this track and trip including three wins. Was out of the placings last time (30.60) at Wentworth Park in a Grade 5, finishing eighth and beaten 10 lengths. Rates a leading player. BLACK TIARA (4) hit the ground running last start and was never headed (36.38) at this track in Grade 4/5 over 630m. Recorded the quickest time on the card last start. Looks a key chance if runs up to latest figure. HAYDEN'S FANCY (5) doesn't win out of turn but recent form sound. Finished third (30.51) at this track last time making it three minors on end. Solid record here winning three races. Overdue and expected to feature again. GILLENBAH TIGER (2) cannot be left out despite coming off a short break.

Hasn't threatened at her last couple but she does have a good record at the track and trip, including three wins. Has the ability to take this out.

Good effort to score just three days ago over 630m at this track by 3.5 lengths in a Grade 4/5. Has hit winning form and can go on with it.

Comments

Form has been solid with minor placings at his last three starts. Last time out finished 3rd over 520m at this track beaten 10 lengths (30.51) behind Annie's Rupee in a Grade 5 on March 5. Going better than form suggests. Don't underestimate.

Modest effort last time out when fourth over 520m at this track. Likely to find this too tough.

Could only manage fifth last time but placed two on end prior to that, the latest at double-figure odds when third (21.29) over 365m at this track. Has a wide draw to navigate and will need the right run to feature.
