Nowra Race 3

Premium Tyre Service Nowra 0-2 Win

Prize Money: $1,350

GRASSCUTTER ROSS (2) was safely held last time out, finishing fifth at Goulburn over 440m behind Bohemian Lass (25.59) in a Grade 5. Can atone. ZIPPING TRAY (1) turned spotting a big start finishing fourth (25.13) last time in a Mix at Goulburn. The form out of his last race has been franked. Shapes as one to consider. ASHBY BRONCO (8) broke through for his maiden success two back but could manage only midfield last time when finished fifth and beaten 7 lengths at this track over 365m (21.26). Returns to the course where he won his maiden. Expected to bounce back to best. HIGH DISTINCTION (5) returns from a month layoff and must be considered.

Failed to finish the race over 520m at Wentworth Park last start. Prior to that was beaten 0.8 lengths over 520m at this track in a Mix. Doesn't look smart enough to threaten the top few.

Didn't make the placings last time at Wentworth Park (30.53) in a Grade 5, finishing a 10 length fourth. Yet to win but has placed four times from this draw. Has ability but looking elsewhere this time.

Won two starts back after racing on the pace at this track over 365m in 21.00. Couldn't repeat the feat last time out when fifth over 365m at this track at Grade 5 level. Solid claims this line-up.
