Gawler Race 3 - Nixon's Function Centre (N/P) Stake Pr1 Division1
NOVA'S FERN (7) is unbeaten over this track and trip in three starts. Placed last time (39.83) at Murray Bridge in a Other, finishing second and beaten a neck. Looks a key chance on best form. WHODAT HOOKED (1) is a solid beginner and with a good start can clear the draw. Last start finished 2nd in a Special conditions race on August 3 over 595m at Angle Park behind Cool Blue You beaten 10 lengths (35.64). Among the main chances. AKELA MARTIAL (3) turned in a solid run last start over 680m at Murray Bridge finishing 4th and beaten only 3.5 lengths (40.05). Safe beginner who has drawn to advantage. Will give the top chances plenty to think about. NITRO NEO (5) warrants respect following a recent placing in a fast run.

Won two starts back at Murray Bridge over 530m in 30.70. Followed that up with a minor placing over 595m at Angle Park at Special conditions race a week-and-a-half ago. In form and another win would not surprise.

Finished third last start (38.48) at big odds over 643m at this track. Will need a little luck early from the draw. Looking to others.
