Nowra Race 12 - Cobargo Hotel
HOT SPARK (7) goes very well at this journey here having never missed the frame including five wins and three placings. Placed last time (21.25) at this track in a Grade 5, finishing third and beaten 2.25 lengths. Makes strong appeal on best. WHERE'S DEREK (1) finished in the minors last time but the start prior broke the clock when winning over 365m at this track, taking a Grade 4/5 in an exceptional 20.58. Must include on winning run two back. NICKO JACK (4) has been in super consistent form, finishing in the minors at his last four runs. Last time finished 3rd in a Mix 1/2/3 on March 26 over 365m at this track behind Nicko King beaten 2.5 lengths (20.88). Form from his last run is proving strong. Overdue and is among the main hopes. FUTURE REFERENCE (8) was out of the money here last time out but can bounce back.

Jumped well at this track two runs back then again settled forward and finished third at this track last start over 365m. Has been around the mark at his last couple and should make his presence felt.

Strong performance after tracking the speed to win by 0.8 lengths at Bulli over 340m (19.46) beating Midnight Fury in Grade 5 on April 7. Better off looking to others.

Has hit the frame at his last four runs, the latest finishing third in 20.88 at this track. Will need a little luck early from the draw. Has ability and should run well.

Last start finished sixth in a Grade 5 on March 12 over 520m at this track behind Princess Ada, beaten 6 lengths (30.20). Happy enough to dismiss in this field.

Won two starts back when well in the market at this track over 365m. Last start finished 3rd over 365m at this track beaten 2.25 lengths (21.25) behind Tiggerlong Sassy in a Grade 5 on April 6. Racing well and can find winning form again.

Should get a clear run from the wide draw. Wasn't impressive last start but does have a great record at this track and distance, rates among the chances this time.
