Cowra Race 1 - Cowra Motors Mdn Plate
This looks a race in two. NAFANUA (7) started favourite but after racing on the speed last start over this distance at Goulburn was found wanting in the closing stages. Fitter for two runs back and this is not a deep maiden. Big chance to break through. DELUCE (3) battled on fairly in heavy going but found a couple better when resuming over this trip at Nowra last time out. Given a month to get over that effort. Should make progress at this stage of the prep and looks the clear danger. The sparingly raced MAGIC IRIS (6) was just fair first-up at Wyong. Strips fitter and won't find this anywhere near as tough. ERION (1) was beaten comfortably last start in an inferior race at Gilgandra. A win would surprise. KNEEL DOWN (2) needs something easier and is likely to struggle again.

Before that 4th of 9 at Albury Ctry Mdn on January 19 over 1175m, 2.5 len behind Blessing Season with 55kg at $8.50. Hard to see him winning.

Dual acceptor. Last start 3rd in a small field at Condobolin Pic Mdn-Sw on February 21 over 1000m, 4 len behind Mary Le Bone carrying 67kg at $2. The run before that 3rd in a small field at Bedgerabong Pic Mdn-Sw on February 14 over 1100m, neck behind Rebel Flyer with 67kg at $2.50. Needs to lift on the last run to be competitive this time.

Third race start. First start 6th of 9 at Gosford Cge Mdn-Sw on August 29 over 1100m, slow going 8 len behind Banjora carrying 56.5kg at $71. Returned from break 3rd in a small field at Nowra Super Mdn on February 8 over 1200m, on heavy track; 4 len behind Hey Jude with 58kg at $11. Fitter and worth following up.

Second run back. First-up after five months ran last in a small field at Wyong Prov 4yo+ Mdn-Sw on February 21 over 1000m, 5 len behind The Netball Queen carrying 57kg at $15. Previously second-up 8th of 10 at Hawkesbury F&M Mdn-Sw on September 6 over 1400m, 8 len behind Superfabulistic with 55kg at $41. Will find this easier and should improve.
