Nowra Race 2 - Happy 90th Birthday Sheila Mann

BEST SURPRISE (1) has a strong winning strike-rate over this journey with three wins and a placing from six tries. Recorded a 3 length win (20.38) in a Grade 5 last time at this track. Looks the one to beat with even luck. BOHEMIAN LASS (4) shapes nicely here coming off a head turning 20.53 win at this track over 365m. Has the ability and looks a key chance. TAW ACTIVATE (7) is a handy dog who jumped from box 6 last time out and scored by half a length at Goulburn (24.83). Makes plenty of appeal if runs up to latest. KUNG FU BAY (5) can return to form after missing the top-three at this circuit last time out.

Lines up chasing another win after scoring over 440m at Goulburn in 24.83, set up by a fast early sectional. In form and is right in the mix again.
