Nowra Race 3 - Greyhound Products Direct Ht 2 H
ZEAL EXPLICIT (8) is still yet to miss the frame from three starts, winning two back before another minor placings latest when second (20.59) over 365m at this track. Performs well off this draw. Drawn out but with clear running expected to go close. WHERE'S DEREK (1) turned in a solid run last start over 365m at this track finishing 4th and beaten only 2.5 lengths (20.82). One of the better hopes. KUNG FU BAY (6) recorded three placings in a row before an overdue win last time, scoring by 1.3 lengths (20.92) at this track. Sure to measure up. NIGHT COUNTRY (7) has ability and finds the right scenario to bounce back.

Flew the lids with a fast early split but ran over at the finish when a narrow fourth (20.82) over 365m at this track. More than capable and well placed to find his best form.

Inside draw could be an advantage. Last start finished seventh in a Grade 5 on October 28 over 520m at this track behind Royal Bandit, beaten 9 lengths (30.34). Happy enough to dismiss in this field.

Won two starts back after racing on the pace at this track over 520m in 29.81. Couldn't repeat the feat last time out when fourth over 515m at Gosford at Grade 5 level. Not among the main chances this time.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage eighth last time out over 365m at this track. Others have better credentials.

Good effort to win last start by 1.3 lengths over 365m at this track in a handy (20.92), beating Creeping Choice. Makes plenty of appeal on that latest effort.

Missed the frame latest (21.53) when sixth over 365m at this track in a Grade 3/4. Has three successes and two minors from nine starts from box 7. Suited here and expected to run well.

Strongly fancied last time and hit the ground running with a slick early split, giving a sight but could manage only second (20.59) at this track over 365m. The form from his last run is stacking up nicely. Follow up.
