Nowra Race 5 - Mark Hughes Foundation

CHARMING CHICKA (5) boasts strong form at this course and distance having won six times from seven starts. In the money last time at Bulli (19.02) in a Grade 4/5, finishing a 0.8 lengths second. Appeals as a leading chance in this. KUNG FU BAY (7) is a last start placegetter in Grade 5 company, jumping from this box and finishing a nose second over 365m at this track. Has a very honest record from this same draw, including a win and four minors. Rates a key player. BLACK BEAR (2) turned in a plain performance last time when fifth at this track over 365m behind Saint Mikey (21.45) in a Grade 4/5. Scored at his previous run. One of the better hopes. TOWERING EARL (4) was below best last time at this track (21.03) in a Grade 3/4, finishing a 6 length fourth. Loves this draw, having won three of five starts.
