Nowra Race 8 - Premium Tyre Service Nowra

HOT SPARK (1) looks close to another win after finishing second last time (20.80) at this track. Has never been out of the money in nine starts this course and distance. Although beaten ran one of the quickest times on the card last start. Overdue and expected to feature again. ZIPPING AUGUSTA (8) boasts a strong record this journey here with three wins and two minors from seven tries. Was out of the placings last time (30.59) at this track in a NG, finishing seventh and beaten 18 lengths. Makes strong appeal on best. ANNIE'S RUPEE (7) was a winner (20.77) at this track two back but out of the placings last time when 8th at Wentworth Park. Form here at the trip sound including six wins. One of the better chances. FUTURE REFERENCE (6) returns after a break and looks a top-three hope.
