Nowra Race 7 - South Nowra Premium Meats 5Th Grade Heat 4 H

ZIPPING LILO (8) was in the minor money with a sharp 29.89, finishing second in a Mix at this track last start. Has the ability and expected to go close again. ROYAL BANDIT (5) scored a nose win (30.13) latest, claiming a Grade 5 over 520m at Wentworth Park and draws the same box this time. Safe beginner but tricky box to overcome. Has the ability and can measure up. GENTLE SPARK (1) is progressing well claiming her 2nd career win latest, scoring by a nose (20.83) at this track. Good beginner assisted by the inside draw. Has hit winning form and can go on with it. UNCLE WALTER (2) should bounce back after an unplaced effort here recently.
