Nowra Race 5 - Mark Hughes Foundation 1-2 Win
STOP AND STARE (7) has shown good improvement at his last two starts, most recently finishing 2nd at Bulli over 472m. Solid formlines coming through his last run. Likely to feature again. SPRING LAYLA (8) turned in a better run last time to find a minor placing (30.31) at this track behind Bandit Bay in a Mix. Turned chasing the leaders but kept coming. Recorded one of the quickest times on the card last start despite being beaten. Hard to beat again. ZIPPING MIRABEL (1) ran above expectations last time to win her first race by a neck at this track over 365m (21.07). Nicely drawn here. Leading player again. UNSTOPPABLE MIST (6) recorded a slick time in winning last time. Worth consideration.
