Nowra Race 8

Ladbrokes Million Dollar Chase Regional Heat 2 H

Prize Money: $3,555

BANDIT ALEX (7) jumps from box 7 for the first time after scoring at this track (29.49) in a Grade 5. Form here at this distance is sound. The form from his last run is stacking up nicely. In great form and can continue his winning ways. DARK CINNAMON (6) is progressing well with another good run last time, placing (29.76) at this track. The form from her last run is stacking up nicely. Will give a great sight again. WINSOME JOSIE (3) tends to take a while to wind up and has hit the frame three on end now, running on to place (30.00) in a Grade 5 at Wentworth Park last time. Solid record at the distance winning six races. Goes very well from this draw with two wins and two minor placings from five starts. Winning chance. TOWERING EARL (1) form at this distance reads well.

Won two starts back after racing on the pace at this track over 520m in 29.69. Couldn't repeat the feat last time out when eighth over 365m at this track at NG level. Expect improvement on the latest effort. Great chance to atone.

Flew the lids with a sensational early split and led until late but gathered in when a 4 length second at this track over 520m in 29.76. Although unsuccessful last time still ran one of the quickest times on the card. Stick with her.
