Nowra Race 12 - Batteries U Need

WHERE'S FERNANDO (3) is a capable type and proved too strong last time to win by 2 lengths at this track in a handy 20.38 beating WHERE'S DEREK. Well placed and will be tough to beat. NICKO KING (1) was quickly into stride and burnt early from the middle draw where he gave a sight, finishing third (20.98) and beaten 3.5 lengths over 365m at this track. Must be included in calculations. ANCESTRAL QUEEN (2) boasts a strong record this journey with six wins and five minors from 16 tries. Was out of placings last time (30.52) at this track in a Grade 5, finishing seventh and beaten 16 lengths. Can feature in the finish. HOT SPARK (6) has ability and must be included among the main hopes.

Won two starts back over 365m at this track. Last start he finished 3rd in a Mix 1/2/3 on July 16 over 365m at this track behind Goodbye Mate beaten 3.5 lengths (20.98). Draw likely to suit. Thereabouts at the last couple. Suited here and likely to run well.

Latest effort finished last on July 1 over 520m at this track behind Bandit Alex beaten 16 lengths (30.52) in a Grade 5. Has performed below expectations at her last couple but is capable of far better.

Talented type with an excellent strike rate at this journey. Has been prominent in the run and duly saluted at his last couple, most recently over 365m at this track in a handy 20.38 beating Where's Derek. Boasts a course and distance PB in a scintillating 20.15. Top chance.

Did a good job two starts back at this track to win by a neck in 20.80, beating Winsome Wanda. Last start finished 4th over 365m at this track beaten 6 lengths (20.81) behind Where's Fernando in a NG on July 16. Look for improvement. Not out of it.
