Nowra Race 8

Dapto Loyalty Short Heat 3 H

Stake: $2,564

ROMAIKA (8) ran below his best last time finishing fourth (21.31) over 365m at this track in a Grade 5. Form from his last run is proving very strong. Has claims if he runs up to expectations. FANCY BENTLEY (7) has a strong record this trip with five wins and three placings from 13 starts. Below best last time at Dapto (30.64) in a NG, finishing a 12 length fifth. Can feature with the right run. HUMBLE SMILES (1) showed little early speed at her last couple, the latest finishing seventh (19.75) in a Grade 5 at Bulli. Has ability and a bold showing is expected. WICKED COMET (2) was below best last time at Dapto (17.55) in a Grade 5, finishing a 6 length fifth. Has already won out of this draw.

Inside draw could be an advantage. Last start finished seventh in a Grade 5 on September 16 over 340m at Bulli behind Desi's Dream, beaten 7 lengths (19.75). Will find this a little easier. Must be included.

Did a good job two starts back at Dapto to win by 2 lengths in 17.36, beating Just Stop It. Last start finished 5th on August 28 over 297m at Dapto behind Raging Tick beaten 6 lengths (17.55) in a Grade 5. Comes out of a hot form race. Worth following up.
