Nowra Race 6 - Mark Hughes Foundation
YEAH THAT'S HIM (2) turned spotting a big start finishing fourth (29.90) last time in a Grade 5 at this track. Ready to return to form. OPO NINJA (8) is progressing well with another good run last time, placing (26.35) last time out at Bulli. Although beaten ran one of the quickest times on the card last start. Expecting another good run. VELOCITY SUMMER (1) was below best at her last start when 7th at this track following a second place finish (22.74) at Bulli two back. In the mix. SHUNNED (4) gets a chance to redeem an unplaced effort here last start.

Missed the frame last time but finished in the minors at big odds two back when second (22.74) over 400m at Bulli. Has the inside draw and is worth plenty of thought.
