Nowra Race 5 - Pelican Rocks Cafe Hcp (C1)
BATTLE WARRIOR (8) returned from a let-up with a fading fourth over 1100m here on the heavy (9) surface. Molly Bourke stays on and strips fitter now. Each way contender from the sticky gate. CUBAN RAIN (3) gets a better set-up for this from the inside gate and will relish the drop in class. No match for the smart Aisle Two with a plugging seventh over 1200m at Kembla Grange. Tongue-tie comes off and capable of taking this out. BRAVE XENA (9) slick debut winner over this course and distance on the heavy (9) track. Has the upside to test some of these. Worth thought. MISS MIKKI ISLE (7) is better than she showed last start at the Sapphire Coast and can bounce back today with the blinkers on.

At the latest run second last of 9 at Goulburn Bm66 on February 12 over 1300m, 8 len behind Rileycat with 57.5kg at $51. Before that second last of 9 at Sapphire Coast Cl1 on January 31 over 1400m, slow going 9 len behind Deepwater Artist carrying 61kg at $13. Worth another chance at this level.

Most recently couldn't go on with it; second last of 7 at Sapphire Coast Cl2 on February 1 over 1200m, slow going 10 len behind Lady Yarrow with 55.5kg at $8.50. The race before that 2nd in a small field at Queanbeyan Bm58 on January 10 over 900m, 2.25 len behind Oakeys Choice carrying 59.5kg at $1.85. Disappointing last time but the blinkers go on now.

Recent form sound. Last start 4th in a small field at this track Bm58 on February 8 over 1100m, in the wet; 4.5 len behind La Mer Bleue carrying 58kg at $2.90. Before that tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 8 at this track Cl1 on December 14 over 1000m, on a slow track; 1.5 len behind Sea Admiral carrying 55kg at $3.70. Best form stacks up nicely and worth another chance.

Back after a long spell. Only had one start last campaign 6th of 9 at Queanbeyan Bm58 on January 24 2025 over 1200m, 2 len behind Captain Nay carrying 55kg at $7. First up last campaign got back early 6th of 11 at Hawkesbury Super Mdn-Sw on August 22 2024 over 1100m, 2.75 len behind Wave Breaker carrying 57kg at $19. Finished fifth in a Kembla Grange trial over 800m on February 2. Will improve on whatever she does in this.
