Nowra Race 1 - Graham Smith Memorial Country Boosted Mdn Hcp
HARD YARDS (1) ran below expectations when he stepped out to the 1600m and raced greenly and hung out with a tiring last at Moruya. Since fitted with a 900m trial placing and the blinkers go on. Set to bounce back over this trip. FOLSOMPRISONHOOVES (2) sharp improver at her second career start when sat on the speed from the wide gate to run second over 1180m at Gundagai on a heavy track. Will push forward and prove hard to get past. PRIDE OF HAZEL (5) shuffled back from the inside gate and never in contention with a battling sixth over 1180m at Gundagai. Improver over the extra ground. RAWANO (6) strips fitter after the first up run. Place only.

Last start 6th of 9 in a Ctry Mdn at Moruya on September 15 over 1210m, 6 len behind Navajo Code with 55kg at $101. The run before that from last on the turn 7th of 11 in a Mdn at Queanbeyan on September 8 over 1000m, slow going 4 len behind Sheezaspeedqueen with 56kg at $101. Hasn't done enough this preparation to come into calculations.
