Nowra Race 1

Les Thompson Memorial Maiden Ht 1 H

Stake: $2,163

ESCAPADES (1) stalked the lead after a clean break from the tricky draw and went on to finish second (24.84) at Goulburn in a Maiden over 440m. Recorded one of the quickest times on the card last start despite being beaten. Top prospect. ANGRY HERCULES (8) produced a modest effort most recently when fifth at this track over 365m behind Angry Goliath (21.20) in a Maiden. Bold showing expected. ZIPPING DOWNEY (5) shows ability but remains a maiden after 11 starts. Was below best latest when fourth (20.88) at this track but did hit the frame the start prior. Has ability and a bold showing is expected. CARPARK INDY (4) collected a minor prize last start at big odds and must be considered.

Returns from a ten weeks spell after being tipped out on the back of a fifth (21.23) over 365m at this track. Looks to have the job ahead.

Big odds last time but gave a huge sight after a fast early split, grabbed late but holding on to a placing when a 5.5 lengths third (21.12) over 365m at this track. Has ability and among the chances.

Has ability but remains a maiden after 11 starts, the most recent effort a fourth (20.88) over 365m at this track. Best form too good to ignore.
