Nowra Race 5 - Ladbrokes Odds Surge

WHERE'S DEREK (4) was game in defeat when finished in the minors last start over the 365m at this track, running a sharp 20.62 in a NG. In form and rates on top this time. HOT SPARK (6) has a strong record this trip with eight wins and five placings from 18 starts. Was out of placings last time (21.06) at this track in a NG, finishing fifth and beaten 8 lengths. Among the main chances. GOODBYE MATE (1) finished fourth last time at Goulburn but could not have been more impressive before that in his handy 20.74 win at this track over 365m. Has the ability and can find winning form again. BLACK BEAR (3) missed the placings here last start but is well-placed to bounce back.
