Nowra Race 2 - Country Motor Company Hcp (C1)
Solid contest with plenty of last start winners. INFANT WARRIOR (1) justified the short price when she held off the challengers to get the job done over this trip at Hawkesbury in good style. Can handle the 2kg weight rise and prove hard to stop. THE NETBALL QUEEN (2) on the ten-day back-up when she sped to the front for a blistering 3.5 len victory over 1000m at Wyong. Will go quickly again from the inside draw in what shapes as a competitive contest. MYSTIC AIR (7) beat inferior opposition on debut in the small field over 1000m at Orange a month ago. Has further upside with top-four prospects. VANTANTE (6) failed to stretch out in the heavy (9) going with a fading sixth over 1000m at Kembla Grange. Can stalk the good tempo and improve quickly.

Racing well recently. At the latest run favourite; won by 3.5 len at Wyong Prov 4yo+ Mdn-Sw February 21 over 1000m defeating Blue Suede Hooves with 57kg at $1.55. The run before that rolled along in front before being edged out 2nd of 8 at Gosford Mid 4yo+ Mdn on February 11 over 1100m, 1.1 len behind Showtime Shadow carrying 55kg at $4.80. Massive victory last start, hard to catch from the inside gate.

Resuming after a four-and-a-half months break. Not seen since winning by nose Gosford 3yo Mdn November 6 over 1000m defeating Precious Girl with 55.5kg at $6. On debut fifth of 8 at Newcastle Mid Mdn-Sw September 20 over 900m, 2.75 len behind Luskintyre with 53.5kg at $4.80. Returns with the two trials and likely to need this.

At the latest run second last in a small field at Kembla Grange Cl1 on March 3 over 1200m, on rain affected going; 4 len behind Harry's Evidence with 55kg at $26. The start before that second last in a small field at Kembla Grange Prov Cl1 on February 24 over 1000m, 6 len behind Just Awesome with 55kg at $31. Unlikely to threaten.

Most recently second last of 7 at Kembla Grange Prov Cl1 on March 3 over 1000m, on rain affected going; 3.5 len behind Ride The River carrying 52kg at $9. The start before that tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by 0.7 len at Wagga Mdn-Sw February 16 over 1200m defeating Just Hear Me Out with 55kg at $4.80. Going well. Improver on the firmer surface.
