Nowra Race 6 - Bechini @ Associates
MORALE SPONGE (1) goes very well at the distance with two wins and a placing from six starts. Missed the frame latest (20.48) when fourth over 350m at Goulburn in a Grade 4. Looks the one to beat with even luck. DARLEY BOY (5) scored (15.75) last time out at The Gardens in a Grade 5 and will break from box 5 for the first time. Recorded one of the quickest times on the card in scoring last start. Leading chance again. PHOENIX'S CHAOS (2) has a moderate overall strike-rate. Hit the board with a minor placing last time when second (21.01) at this track. Good beginner aided by a nice draw. Will give a great sight again. TOPPER TENACIOUS (8) showed plenty of dash to record a last start win. Right in the mix.

In the money last time at this track (20.87) in a Grade 5, finishing a 1.5 lengths third. Still a maiden from this draw but has never missed the frame from two starts. Will need the right run.

Was out of placings last time (21.32) at this track in a Grade 5, finishing sixth and beaten 7 lengths. Has two wins and two placings from seven starts from the draw. Looks one of the chances.
