Nowra Race 8 - Mark Hughes Foundation Heat 1 H
SKEDADDLE BENNY (1) won by 1.3 lengths last start when getting around Wagga 400m in a scintillating 22.55. In form and rates on top again. BOBBIN' BRUNO (4) finished fifth last time but just a few runs back pushed the clock when winning over 520m at Richmond, taking a Grade 5 in a strong 29.78. Rates a leading chance if runs up to recent winning time. RILEY DOZER (2) has a strong winning strike-rate here having won three of six starts. Below best last time at Wentworth Park (30.49) in a Grade 5, finishing a 9 length seventh. Suited here and expected to run well. CONFUSION REIGNS (7) has strong claims after a top-three finish in good time last time out.

Hit the ground running last time with a hot early split and tried to lead throughout but had to settle for the minors when second (29.91) at this track. Ran one of the fastest times on the program last start despite finishing in the minors. Pay to follow.
