Nowra Race 11 - Premium Tyre Service Nowra

CHARMING CHICKA (5) scored (20.67) last time out at this track in a Grade 5 and will break from box 5 for the first time. Strike rate this course strong having won four of four tries. Recorded one of the quickest times on the card in scoring last start. Can go close again if runs up to latest figure. SHANTI BAY (7) has a strong record here with six wins and eight placings from 18 starts. Below best last time at Temora (19.38) in a Grade 5, finishing a 7 length seventh. Among the main chances. WAR HAWK (2) has a fair record and proved too classy last time to win by 1.5 lengths at this track in a handy 20.65 beating Aria's Dream. Strong form has emerged from his last run. One of the prime contenders.

Inside draw could be an advantage. Last start finished fourth in a Grade 5 on January 22 over 365m at this track behind Cumbria Meg, beaten 5 lengths (21.27). Others hold stronger claims.

Eye-catching performance to score by 1.5 lengths in a Mix 1/2/3 last start at this track, clocking a slick 20.65 over the 365m trip. Should be in this for a long way.

Scored (20.67) last time out at this track in a Grade 5 and will break from box 5 for the first time. With a clean break looks hard to beat.

Didn't make the placings last time at Temora (19.38) in a Grade 5, finishing a 7 length seventh. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed three times. Looks hard to beat with even luck.
