Nowra Race 2

Astute Brent Rollings Mdn Plate

Prize Money: $27,000

THE WAY AHEAD (6) finished in the minor money at her last three outings and finds the right race to get off the mark at start twelve. On the quick back-up after she closed late to finish third over 1000m at Canberra. Can race closer from the draw and get the job done. DANCER'S DELIGHT (3) even effort on debut when sixth over 1000m at Canberra. Deserves another chance on the back-up. SWEET ROSE (7) is a Headwater filly on debut for the Austin camp. Has been building nicely at the trials and finds a thin maiden to kick things off. Worth including. BANNER BANNER (1) also faces the starter for the first time and has shown enough in his lead-up work to suggest he can be competitive.
