Nowra Race 9 - Bechini & Associates

THOUSAND WORDS (2) struggled to get involved last start after missing the jump at this track, but prior to that won by 1.5 lengths at Bulli (19.43) beating Shameful in a Maiden on December 30. Some good form is emerging from his last run. Has ability and is a key runner. TWISTED HUXLEY (3) was safely held last time out, finishing seventh at this track over 520m behind Jelly To Go (30.70) in a Grade 5. Form from his last run is proving to be solid. Has ability and is one of the better chances. FIREFLY GAL (8) turned in a modest effort most recently when sixth at this track over 365m behind Baby Time (21.77) in a Grade 5. Has ability and a bold showing is expected. STAR MELI (6) did a good job to finish third last time out over 365m at this track (21.06) in a Grade 5, the second top-three finish on the trot.
