Nowra Race 5 - Carpet Court Mdn Plate
BEAUTY DASH (5) settled midfield and made minimal inroads in the run home on debut last start over 1000m at Kembla. Won't find this as tough and the extra furlong looks ideal. Can improve enough to take this out. HOLD MY DRINK (1) is back from a spell and has transferred from the Freedmans in Victoria to Mitch Beer. Wasn't beaten far in either run during the maiden campaign. Trialled well at Kembla recently and looks all set for a bright return to racing. WESTERN LANE (4) ran a better race last start with the step up in trip, racing on the speed then battling on okay for fourth over this distance at Kembla. Beautifully drawn and is a threat back in a country maiden. GIRLS WEEKEND (7) got a long way back and was never a hope first-up over 1000m at Kembla. Brighter prospects out to this trip. LIGHTLY SPARKLED (8) can improve second-up over this more suitable journey.

Resuming after a five-and-a-half months break. Finished off last campaign second of 12 at Echuca Mdn-Sw December 31 over 1300m, 1.0 len behind Boulder Jack with 55kg at $2.05. On debut third of 9 at Kyneton 3yo Mdn-Sw December 12 over 1203m, 0.8 len behind Long Brew with 58kg at $3.30. Should be right in the finish.

Having third race start. When well in the market at debut, 4th of 8 at Newcastle Mid 3yo Mdn on April 26 over 900m, slow going 5.5 len behind Harlex carrying 59kg at $3.30. Last start 4th of 8 at Kembla Grange Cg&E Mdn on May 17 over 1200m, on a slow track; 3.5 len behind Pick Up The Tab with 58.5kg at $21. Ready to give this a shake.

Three-year-old filly (So You Think - Astara) has trialled on six occasions leading into today's race. Was second in a 800m barrier trial on June 4 at Kembla Grange. Has trialled okay heading into this - watch the betting.
