Nowra Race 9

Out And About Dog Walking Nowra

Stake: $3,619

SHADOW DASH (1) turned in a better run last time to find a minor placing (21.21) at this track behind Luna Zeal in a NG. Makes plenty of appeal. NARA SPIRIT (7) has a strong record this journey here with five wins and a minor from 12 starts. Missed the frame latest (23.20) when fourth over 401m at Richmond in a Grade 5. Can hit the frame with the right run. MYSTICAL STAR (2) turned spotting a big start finishing fourth (30.18) last time in a Grade 4/5 at this track. Solid record here at the distance winning eight races. Must be included in calculations. SMOOTH AVENGER (5) must be among the chances on the last run here.

Working his way into winning form after his success on March 27 at Wentworth Park over 520m. Last start was third over 365m in 21.21, behind Luna Zeal. Should be right in the finish.

Missed the frame last time but finished in the minors at big odds two back when third (29.86) over 520m at this track. Has a low draw and can measure up.

Good effort at double-figure odds last time when second (30.11) over 520m at this track. Squeeze draw to overcome. Top-three aspirations.

Latest effort finished 4th in a Grade 5 on April 13 over 401m at Richmond behind Rev It Suzie beaten 13 lengths (23.20). The form from her last run is stacking up nicely. Follow up.
