Nowra Race 1 - Mark Hughes Foundation Mdn

FIRE ISLAND (4) turned in a better run last time to find a minor placing (21.12) at this track behind Rapid Strike in a Maiden. Still to record a win from this draw but has never missed the frame in two starts. Leading chance again. BOLD SPARK (7) is overdue for a maiden success having placed at three of 12 starts and finishing in the money again at this track. Expecting another good run. NOT TOO PROUD (8) has missed the frame at his last two but did run well three back when third (21.15) in a Maiden at this track. Can feature with the right run. SWEET WHISKEY (5) looks a top-three hope after a break.

Inside draw could be an advantage. Last start finished sixth on July 1 over 365m at this track behind From The Angel, beaten 7 lengths (21.53) in a Maiden. Can't make much of a case this time.

Missed the frame last time but finished in the minors at big odds two back when second (21.18) over 365m at this track. Tricky draw to overcome but in the mix on her best form.
