Nowra Race 4

Stake: $1,647

CHIC FRANKY (2) was impressive last time, posting an effortless 3.5 lengths win in taking a Maiden in 20.90 and a new Best time this course and distance. In winning form and can measure up again. DUNDEE SPIKE (1) turned in a fair 5th placed finish last time at Bulli over 340m (19.75). Can do much better this time. MS. TROPEA (3) was fresh up last time at Goulburn where she finished seventh (20.84) in a Grade 5. Sure to be fitter. Has ability and a bold showing is expected. MADE BY MIA (8) missed the placings here most recently but can sneak into the finish with the right run.

Good effort to score just four days ago over 365m at this track by 3.5 lengths in a Maiden. Can make it two on the bounce.
