Nowra Race 7 - The Albatross Kel O'rourke Appreciation

AUGUST BOB (1) got the job done again after leading them home recording back to back wins, scoring by 2 lengths (29.64) at Dapto over 520m. Comes through a solid form race last start. Form reads well for this. ZIPPING EVANIA (4) is progressing well with another good run last time, placing (29.64) from Box 1 at this track. Well-placed to take this out. SMOOTH AVENGER (2) rises 110m in distance at her first try over the longer trip. Missed the frame last time when 4th and beaten 5.5 lengths (30.07) at this track. Makes strong appeal on best. QUEEN LINDA (5) was in the money again last start when second at Dapto (34.69).

Dual acceptor. Hit the frame at this track last time when a 9 length third but did record a brilliant 29.64 for the 520m trip. Expected to go close with a repeat of latest.
