Nowra Race 1 - Astute Financial Mdn Plate
WAVERLEY ROAD (4) Wootton Bassett gelding who finds a winnable contest after going under narrowly when second over 1100m at Wyong first-up. Has the speed to get across and should assert his class. OVER THE LIMIT (3) went under narrowly first-up over the 1000m here when second. Up sharply in class with a fading fifth over 1000m in a Super Maiden at Kembla Grange. Has a good cruising speed and sure to be thereabouts. SPACE CADET (9) three-year-old Farnan filly from Space Trip on debut for the Ryan & Alexiou yard. Comes from a good producing mare and fitted with the two trials. Keep safe. MOGO ROCK (5) finished in the minor money at her last three starts and capable of running into the minor money.

Second-up. First-up after seven months second last of 12 at Canberra Mdn-Sw on February 6 over 1200m, 10 len behind Divine Secrets carrying 58.5kg at $41. Previously second-up 6th of 8 at Bathurst Mdn on July 21 over 1200m, slow going 5 len behind Shirley's Tribute with 56kg at $4. Impossible to make a case.

Third-up today. First-up rolled along in front then was edged out late 2nd of 8 at this track Mdn-Sw on January 11 over 1000m, head behind Kwirky Smile carrying 57.5kg at $4.40. Second run from a spell faded in the straight 5th of 7 at Kembla Grange Super Mdn on January 28 over 1000m, 3.5 len behind Manukau with 56kg at $26. Shapes as the main danger.

Second-up. First start 5th of 9 at Randwick 2yo SW on December 21 2024 over 1000m, 5 len behind Pallaton with 57kg at $13. Went for a break before returning held ground to the line 2nd of 7 at Wyong Cg&E Mdn on February 10 over 1100m, on a slow track; nose behind Gravel Road with 58.5kg at $7.50. Key runner who should prove too good for these.

Dual acceptor. Was at long odds at debut, got back early 5th of 7 at Kembla Grange 2&3yo Mdn on February 7 over 1000m, slow going 6 len behind She's Assort with 57kg at $41. This looks easier but hard to recommend.

Facing the starter for the first time. Three-year-old filly by Farnan out of Space Trip. At the most recent trial finished sixth at Rosehill over 900m. Well held in recent trials but don't dismiss from the low draw.
