Nowra Race 4 - Happy Birthday Jeff Alaban
SUMMER DREAM (2) goes very well this trip starting 21 times for nine wins and 10 minors. Placed last time (18.17) at Richmond in a NG, finishing second and beaten 4 lengths. Appeals as a leading chance in this. WHERE'S FERNANDO (7) is an honest type in the frame at 13 of 51 starts including 24 wins, the latest scoring (25.83) over 457m at Temora. Has a good record here at this journey. Super consistent and can feature with the right run. KICKING BINS (4) scored by a neck last time (20.45) in a Grade 4/5 over 365m at this track. With even luck and a clean start should be thereabouts. ZIPPING CHAPLIN (8) can run a bold race on best form.

Has not shown much in recent runs. Could only manage fifth last time out over 520m at Wentworth Park. Not keen this time.

Snuck into the minor money last time when a 4 length second at Richmond but did record a respectable 18.17 over the 320m journey. Expected to push the clock again here.

Good win last start as odds-on favourite by a neck over 365m at this track in a handy 20.45, beating Kung Fu Bay. Racing well and can win again.

Eye-catching performance to score by a 0.8 lengths in a Grade 4/5 last start at this track, recording a solid 20.67 over the 365m journey. In form and worth thought again.

Impressive performance to score by 2.5 lengths in a NG last start at Temora, clocking a fast 25.83 over the 457m trip. Has the ability and looks a key chance again.

Was out of placings last time (30.01) at Wentworth Park in a NG, finishing fifth and beaten 11 lengths. Has three wins and three placings from 11 starts from the draw. Looks suited here and can measure up on best.
