Nowra Race 8

Ladbrokes Punter Assist

Stake: $1,922

HOT SPARK (1) has a strong record this track and trip with 10 wins and seven placings from 23 starts. Hit the frame latest (20.55) when second at this track in a NG. Has the ability and looks a key chance here. EL CONDOR PASA (5) was in the money last time at this track (20.66) in a NG, finishing a 4.5 lengths third. Already a winner from this draw. Suited here and expected to run well. ZIPPING ZODIAC (8) was safely held last time out, finishing fifth at Bulli over 400m behind Linkin Park (22.99) in a Grade 4/5. The form from his last run stacks up well. Has the ability to give this a shake. SKEDADDLE LOUISE (2) drops in trip and cannot be left out.

Flew the lids with a fast early split but had to contend with second when clocking 20.55 over 365m at this track. Has run hot time here with a 20.38 PB at the distance. Key chance.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (30.62) in a Grade 4/5, finishing a 12 length seventh. Yet to win but has placed six times from this draw. Suited here and expected to run well.

Good effort at double-figure odds last time when second (20.67) over 365m at this track. Will need a little luck early from the draw. Looks tested in this line-up.

Was among the placegetters latest at this track when a 4.5 lengths third but did clock a speedy 20.66 over the 365m journey. Has the ability and expected to go close again.

Resumes from a six months spell and was a winner at only other fresh up run, scoring in 29.64 at big odds over 520m at this track. Look for improvement. Not out of it.
