Nowra Race 3 - More From Tote With Ladbrokes

GENTLE SPARK (1) was never in contention last time after missing the jump at this track, but prior to that won by 2.25 lengths at this track (20.63) beating Mother Goose in a Grade 5 on October 7. Remains without a win from the draw but has been in the placings five times from six attempts. Better than the latest run and deserves another chance. FREDDY LIVE WIRE (7) has a terrific record this track and trip with two wins and one placing from three starts. Comes off a (20.62) win last time, scoring by 3.5 lengths in a Grade 5 over 365m at this track. Looks one of the chances. ZIPPING VIOLET (8) boasts a strong record this journey here with two wins and two minors from six tries. Below best last time at this track (20.86) in a Grade 5, finishing a 4 length fourth. Looks one of the chances. KUNG FU BAY (2) can return to form after missing the top-three at this circuit last time out.

Won two starts back when well in the market at this track over 365m. Last start finished 5th over 365m at this track beaten 11 lengths (21.56) behind Mother Goose in a Grade 5 on October 14. Looks a strong winning hope.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (21.23) in a Grade 4/5, finishing a 8 length fourth. Goes very well from the draw boasting three victories and four places from 12 starts. Has ability and can sneak into the finish.

Did a good job two starts back at this track to win by 3 lengths in 20.55, beating Out Express. Last start finished 6th on October 14 over 365m at this track behind Mother Goose beaten 12 lengths (21.63) in a Grade 5. This looks too tough.

Talented type with an excellent strike rate at this journey. Has been prominent in the run and duly saluted at his last couple, most recently over 365m at this track in a handy 20.62 beating Egomaniac. Form strong and a huge chance to register the hat-trick.
