Nowra Race 11 - More From Tote With Ladbrokes

HOT SPARK (4) boasts a strong record this journey here with 12 wins and 10 minors from 28 tries. In the money last time at this track (20.93) in a NG, finishing a 6 length second. Has the ability and should feature. IMPRESS SPIETH (8) turned in a plain run last time when fifth at this track over 365m behind Dark Cinnamon (21.11) in a NG. Was a winner the start prior. Boasts a strong record from this draw with five wins and two minor placings from 10 starts. Expected to feature in the finish. NIGHT COUNTRY (7) was safely held last time out, finishing sixth at this track over 365m behind Dark Cinnamon (21.14) in a NG. Was a winner prior to that. Worth following up. MOTHER GOOSE (2) is worth another chance despite missing the top-three here most recently.
