Nowra Race 4

Cobargo Hotel Final F

Prize Money: $6,675

CREATIVE KEY (7) stalked the lead then burst clear to score (29.63) at this track in a Grade 5 over 520m. Winner at her latest appearance in the quickest time on the card. Can continue the winning form. GYPSY GRACE (5) jumped from out wide and was game in defeat last start when a half a length second (29.69) behind GRAMERCY BEAT at this track. Yet to miss the placings from three starts out of this box. Leading chance. ASHBY GNOCCHI (3) was in the money last start when second in a Grade 5 in 29.68, clocking one of the quickest times on the card and a personal best this course and distance as well. Expecting another bold showing. FORTY'S BOY (1) is a last-start placegetter at this track and distance - should be thereabouts.

A brilliant 29.69 for the 520m trip. Looks the one to beat with a repeat of that effort.

Good effort to win last start by half a length over 520m at this track in a handy (29.66), beating Gypsy Grace. Will find this a bit tougher, can't make much of a case this time.
