Nowra Race 5 - Cumbria Jack @ Meticulous Lodge

AFTER SUN (4) goes very well at the course and distance with two wins and a placing from three starts. Scored by 1.3 lengths last time (20.07) in a Grade 5 over 350m at Goulburn. Looks suited here and rates on top. TOPPER TENACIOUS (1) was below latest but prior to that a Grade 4 winner in quick time (20.94) at this track in a Grade 4. Has the ability and looks a key chance here. ROMANI LASS (2) has missed the frame at her last two but did run well three back when second (20.88) in a Grade 4 at this track. Has the ability and can find best this time. FUTURE REFERENCE (7) should bounce back after an unplaced effort here recently.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (21.23) in a Grade 5, finishing a 7 length seventh. Goes very well from the draw boasting two victories and two places from seven starts. With a clean break looks hard to beat.
