Nowra Race 6 - Mark Hughes Foundation
INTREPID EAGLE (2) jumped well to win over the 630m at this track two runs back then prominent throughout when finishing third at this track last start. Has performed well from this box with a win and three minor placings to his name from eight starts. Top prospect. ASHBY GNOCCHI (1) showed strong pace early from the inside rail and stuck on well despite missing the frame, finishing fourth over 630m this track in 37.14. A forward showing wouldn't surprise. SNEAKY TYCOON (4) was below best at his last start when 8th at Gosford following a second place finish (35.22) there two back. Better than the latest run and deserves another chance. ZIPPING HOPKINS (7) was strongly fancied last time but ran below expectations when sixth (37.34), beaten 6 lengths. Remains without a win from the draw but has been in the placings seven times from nine attempts.

Won two starts back when well in the market at this track over 630m. Last start finished 4th on June 25 over 630m at this track behind Gramercy Garry beaten 3.5 lengths (37.14) in a NG. Looks well placed and should prove hard to beat.

Flew the lids with a quick early split but had to settle for the minor money when third (37.02) over 630m at this track. Capable of a strong show.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (37.34) in a NG, finishing a 6 length sixth. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed seven times. Can feature in the finish.
