Nowra Race 6

Grnsw Middle Distance Series

Prize Money: $9,750

INTREPID EAGLE (7) has a strong record this trip with four wins and four placings from 11 starts. Missed the frame latest (35.88) when fifth over 622m at Richmond in a NG. Appeals as a leading chance in this. GYPSY GRACE (4) was in the minors two back (19.49) at Bulli but ran below best last time at Wentworth Park, finishing 7th. Solid beginner who can clear the tricky draw. A forward showing wouldn't surprise. SURIBACHI (2) boasts a consistent overall record including 10 wins from 35 starts, but missed the frame latest when fifth (42.55) over 720m at Wentworth Park. Super consistent and can feature with the right run. ASHBY GNOCCHI (8) cannot be overlooked following a recent top-three finish.

Was out of placings last time (31.02) at Wentworth Park in a Grade 5, finishing seventh and beaten 7 lengths. Goes very well from the draw boasting two victories and four places from 11 starts. Looks hard to beat with even luck.

Didn't make the placings last time at Richmond (35.88) in a NG, finishing a 5.5 lengths fifth. Has never missed the frame from three starts from the draw, including a win. Has ability and looks a key chance.
