Nowra Race 8 - Ladbrokes Popular Srm
POCKET TALK (5) brought up his 15th career win last start at this track (20.38). Solid record here at the distance winning two races. Winner at his latest appearance in the quickest time on the card. One of the key runners again. BLACK BEAR (4) missed the frame last time but prior to that was an effortless Grade 5 winner (20.76) at this track, scoring by 6 lengths. This looks easier and expected to improve sharply. ANNIE'S RUPEE (2) has a strong record this track and trip with seven wins and four placings from 21 starts. Missed the frame latest (21.25) when sixth over 365m at this track in a Grade 4/5. Looks suited here and can measure up. ZIPPING GRYLLIS (1) hit the frame latest (20.86) when second at this track in a Mix 2/3. Has already won two times from this draw.

Good effort last time when second (20.86) over 365m at this track. Has the inside draw this time. Cannot be ruled out.

Won two starts back when well in the market at this track over 365m. Last start finished last on May 7 over 365m at this track behind Cumbria Tess beaten 8 lengths (21.55) in a Grade 4/5. Below best last time but looks well placed here. Deserves another chance.

Good win last start as odds-on favourite by 6 lengths over 365m at this track in a handy 20.38, beating Nicko King. Ran the fastest time on the program in that last win. Follow up.

Won two starts back after racing on the pace at this track over 365m in 20.98. Followed that up with a minor placing over 365m at this track at NG three days ago. Needs to find a bit more.

Got back last start and could only manage fifth but before that won by 2 lengths at Casino (27.65) beating Chad's Girl in a Grade 4/5 on March 26. Needs to find a bit more to test these.
