Nowra Race 8

The Deli On Kinghorne 5Th Grade Heat 5 H

Stake: $2,709

NICKO ACE (1) was in the placings last time but shapes well for this on his fast win the start prior, getting around this track over 365m in 20.71. Can return to winning form here if runs up to time two back. ZIPPING GEORGIA (7) doesn't win out of turn but looks close to breaking through. Has hit the frame the last two runs, the latest when second (23.05) at Richmond. Form at the trip sound including two wins. Ready to find winning form. CUMBRIA TESS (2) turned in a solid run last start over 365m at this track finishing 4th and beaten only 5 lengths (20.90). The form from her last run is stacking up nicely. Key runner on best form. EDDY SPAGHETTI (5) is a last start winner and can go on with it.

Won two starts back over 365m at this track. Last start he finished 2nd in a Mix 2/3 on February 2 over 365m at this track behind Nicko Jack beaten 0.8 lengths (20.93). Draw likely to suit. Going well and can bounce back to winning form.

Has not shown much in recent runs. Could only manage sixth last time out over 365m at this track. Happy enough to avoid.

Solid performance to win by one length at this track over 365m (20.80) beating Gentle Spark in Maiden on January 29. Has hit winning form and is worth thought again.

Latest effort finished 2nd on February 1 over 401m at Richmond behind Creeping Tiger beaten 2.5 lengths (23.05) in a Grade 5. Leading chance who should prove hard to beat.

Good performance to win by a nose at this track over 365m (21.12) beating Carpark Indy in Maiden on February 2. Shouldn't trouble the top few hopes.
