Nowra Race 5 - Ladbrokes Nowra Puppy Classic Ht 1 H

BEFORE THE DAWN (1) is a talented type and proved too strong last time to win by 1.5 lengths at this track in a handy 29.77 beating Linkin Park. Ran one of the fastest times on the program in her latest win. Well placed and will be tough to beat. CAWBOURNE ZARA (8) has a strong winning strike-rate over this journey with two wins and a placing from four tries. Comes off a (24.91) win last time, scoring by half a length in a Grade 5 over 440m at Goulburn. Can feature with the right run. TAKE A BREAK (2) has been hard to follow lately, running sixth (30.20) last time but prior to that ran very well when placed at Wentworth Park. Expecting significant improvement this line-up. ZIPPING CRUELLA (3) will make her presence felt following a brief layoff.

Flew the lids with a fast early split and went on to clock 29.77 when a 1.5 lengths winner over 520m at this track. Recorded one of the quickest times on the card last time. Worth following up.

Found some support last start but struggled and finished 6th on April 9 over 520m at Wentworth Park behind Fascinate Samuel beaten 13 lengths (30.20) in a NG. Placed two back at Wentworth Park. Solid formlines coming through that last run. Looks a major player.

Was among the placegetters latest at Sandown when a 4 length third but did clock a slick 29.57 over the 515m journey. Harder here and one for the multiples.
