Nowra Race 5

Grnsw Middle Distance Series

Prize Money: $8,900

ASHBY GNOCCHI (7) was midfield throughout and finished there last time when 4th (36.88) at this track. Tough to beat if on-song. SNEAKY TYCOON (4) dropped out early but wound up strongly and charged into the minors when a 2.25 lengths third (30.33) at Wentworth Park in Grade 5. Bold showing expected. SPRING LAYLA (1) has been a little hard to follow, finishing out of the placings latest but was in winning form two back scoring in a Mix at this track. This looks easier and expected to improve sharply. TERRY TANGLES (2) is in the mix despite missing out at this track last time.

Won two starts back after racing on the pace at this track over 520m in 29.87. Couldn't repeat the feat last time out when fourth over 520m at this track at Grade 5 level. Looks a solid hope.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage seventh last time out over 520m at this track. Prefer to watch at this stage.

Latest effort finished 4th on June 1 over 630m at this track behind Intrepid Eagle beaten 4 lengths (36.88) in a Grade 4/5. Has been racing well. Well placed here and looks a leading contender.
