Nowra Race 4

Grnsw Middle Distance Series

Prize Money: $9,000

ASHBY GNOCCHI (4) produced a moderate performance last time when sixth at this track over 520m behind Elsa Above (30.37) in a Grade 4/5. Was in the money prior to that. Should bounce back. FORREST GUMP (6) improved his time on first attempt this course and distance with a 1.3 lengths win in 36.73 here latest. Harder here but will be in this for a long way. GYPSY GRACE (3) is very good course and distance. Latest effort finished 3rd in a Grade 5 on September 12 over 520m at Wentworth Park behind Jock From Ibrox beaten 2.25 lengths (30.47). Suited here and expected to run well. FANTASTIC STORM (1) drops in journey and should be in the mix.

Could only manage fifth last time but placed two on end prior to that, the latest at double-figure odds when third (42.54) over 720m at Wentworth Park. Nicely drawn on the inside but needs to bounce back.

Big odds last time but hit the ground running with a strong early split, giving a sight but fading only late to finish third (30.47) at Wentworth Park over 520m. In form and can return to the winners' list.

Found some support last start but struggled and finished 6th over 520m at this track beaten 9 lengths (30.37) behind Elsa Above in a Grade 4/5 on September 9. Placed two back at this track. Capable of improvement on latest effort. Well placed and should feature.

Did a good job two starts back at this track to win by 2.25 lengths in 30.14, beating Any More Caramel. Last start finished 4th in a Mix on September 9 over 630m at this track behind Forrest Gump beaten 4.5 lengths (37.02). Be tough to make an impression against this lot.
