Nowra Race 5 - The Pinebowl Distance Series
ZULU SHARP (1) goes very well at this course having never missed the frame including six wins and three placings. Comes off a (35.91) win last time, scoring by 3.5 lengths in a Grade 5 over 622m at Richmond. Makes strong appeal on best. GYPSY GRACE (2) is a talented type and proved too strong last time to win by a nose at this track in a handy 30.05 beating Puffin Punta. Is yet to miss the placings from this draw, including two wins, from five starts. Capable of going well again. RILEY DOZER (8) turned in a moderate effort last time when fifth at this track over 520m behind Too Easy (30.28) in a Grade 4/5. Was in the money the start prior. Has a strong record from box 8, including two wins. Will give the top chances plenty to think about. OUT EXPRESS (7) has ability and can feature with the right run after missing a cheque here most recently.

Well supported last time and rocketed out of the boxes with a strong early sectional, going on to clock 35.91 in a 3.5 lengths win at Richmond over 622m. Looks well placed to make it three straight.

Good performance after tracking the speed to win by a nose at this track over 520m (30.05) beating Puffin Punta in Grade 5 on October 21. Form from this box is very strong, including two wins. Hard to beat.

Did a good job two starts back at this track to win by 4.5 lengths in 36.80, beating Grasscutter Ross. Last start finished 4th in a Mix on October 24 over 600m at The Gardens behind Hot To Trace beaten 2 lengths (35.12). Hard to envisage a win.
