Nowra Race 5 - Ladbrokes Blackbook
OHTANI FORCE (1) is an honest type who is new to this track. Lines up here in winning form after scoring by one length from box three at Q Straight (16.71). Deserves serious consideration again. MUSCLE MEMORY (4) has raced below best last couple, the latest managing only 5th (20.87) last time in a NG at this track. Has won here at this journey. Must be included in calculations. OUT EXPRESS (8) jumps at a shorter journey and still warrants respect.

Solid performance to win by one length at Q Straight over 300m (16.71) beating Workman Like in Grade 5 on July 27. Looks the one to beat again.

Last start finished fourth on August 26 over 365m at this track behind Zipping Violet, beaten 6 lengths (21.01) in a Grade 5. Will not find this easy. Not keen.

Modest effort last time out when fourth over 365m at this track. Others have better credentials.

Got back last start and could only manage seventh but before that won by 1.3 lengths at this track (36.87) beating Any More Caramel in a Mix on July 1. Better than the last run. Don't underestimate.
