Nowra Race 5 - Premium Tyre Service Nowra

ASHBY GNOCCHI (2) has a strong winning strike-rate here with four wins and a placing from 10 tries. Below best last time at this track (30.05) in a Grade 4/5, finishing a 2.5 lengths fourth. Makes strong appeal on best. BLUE LINKIN (5) turned in a modest effort most recently when seventh at Wentworth Park over 520m behind Dazzle You (30.70) in a Grade 5. Was in the money prior to that. Key runner on best form. SKETCHY STORY (1) has been beaten for early speed lately, last time finishing fifth (22.84) in a Grade 5 at Bulli. Has a good record here including two wins. Form from his last run is proving to be solid. Cannot be taken lightly. WRITTEN IN GOLD (4) has ability and finds the right scenario to bounce back.

Missed the frame latest (22.84) when fifth over 400m at Bulli in a Grade 5. Yet to win but has placed three times from this draw. Can hit the frame with the right run.

Was well supported last time and charged out of the boxes with a slick early sectional but swallowed up late, finishing a 2.5 lengths fourth (30.05) over 520m at this track. Looks well placed and should prove hard to beat.

Missed the frame last time but the start prior recorded a good 29.82 over 520m finishing third at Wentworth Park. Rates a top chance if runs up to time two back.

Good effort to win last start by 3 lengths over 520m at this track in a handy (30.05), beating Days Of Wonder. Will find this a bit tougher, others make more appeal.

Got back last start and could only manage fourth but before that won comfortably by 5.5 lengths at this track (29.81) beating Trixie Mahack in a Grade 5 on March 2. Prefer to watch at this stage.
