Cardross Memorial Ht2

Prize Money: $2,925

NANGAR EXPRESS (4) has a strong record this trip with six wins and nine placings from 16 starts. Hit the frame latest (22.82) when second at Gawler in a Grade 5. Has the ability and looks a key chance here. TOMMY'S HITMAN (8) settled midfield in the run and boxed on to finish there when 4th (22.40) at Warrnambool. Yet to win here but has run some good races. Better than last start and can bounce back. WHERE'S WALTER (3) boasts a strong record this journey here with three wins and two minors from eight tries. Hit the frame latest (22.08) when second at Ballarat in a Grade 4/5. Can hit the frame with the right run. MIKE ANGELO ZEAL (7) did a good job to finish second last time out over 300m at Healesville (16.77) in a Grade 5, the second top-three finish on the trot.

Impressive performance to score by one length in a NG last start at Broken Hill, recording an exceptional 21.61 over the 375m journey. Harder here but warrants respect on latest.

Did a good job two starts back at Murray Bridge Straight to win by one length in 17.08, beating Referent Power. Last start finished 4th in a Grade 6 on December 22 over 400m at Gawler behind Long Gully Cait beaten 9 lengths (23.55). Can't make much of a case this time.
