Nowra Race 6

Ladbrokes Nowra Puppy Classic Heat 2 H

Prize Money: $3,430

BLACK MYTH WAVE (6) is a well performed dog who recorded his 13th career win last time out at this track (29.25). Hard to knock his form from this box, unbeaten in three starts. Form reads well for this. ZIPPING NALA (1) clocked an eye catching 29.58 to claim a Mix over 520m at this track last start. Smart winner latest and looks a key chance on that form. LINKIN PARK (8) is a talented type and proved too strong last time to win by 3 lengths at this track in a handy 29.65 beating Secret Getaway. Can measure up again. WHERE'S FERNANDO (7) is in the mix despite missing out at this track last time.

Solid performance to post a big 3.5 lengths win at this track over 520m (29.58) beating Zipping Ariel in Mix on April 14. Can make it two on the bounce.

Flew the lids with a quick early split but had to settle for the minor money when third (22.61) over 400m at Bulli. This appears within his reach.

Lines up chasing another win after scoring over 515m at Sandown in 29.71, set up by a fast early sectional. Must be a winning chance again.

Form has been solid with minor placings at her last three starts. Last time out finished 2nd on April 14 over 520m at this track behind Zipping Dekkers beaten 6 lengths (29.98) in a Grade 5. Not likely to feature on this occasion.

Showed strong early pace and proved too slick around this track over 520m in 29.65, claiming a Grade 5 by 3 lengths. Looks the one to beat again.
