Nowra Race 7

Prize Money: $2,335

MIDNIGHT GHOST (6) has a fair record and proved too classy last time to win by 2 lengths at this track in a handy 20.39 beating Goodbye Mate. Recorded the quickest time on the card last start. Shapes as a top winning chance on latest effort. NIGHT COUNTRY (1) jumped from a middle draw last time and could manage only fourth and beaten 0.9 lengths (21.06) at this track. Can do much better this time. BLACK BEAR (3) has been out of the placings at his last two outings but shapes well for this if he can recapture his excellent win a few runs back, getting around this track over 365m in 20.45. Has the ability and looks a key chance. MOTHER GOOSE (7) won in smart time most recently. Worth consideration.

Has been racing well, including a win three back, last start finishing a close-up fourth (21.06) at this track. Looks a leading contender on best and expected to bounce back.

Flew the lids with a fast early split and went on to clock 20.39 when a 2 length winner over 365m at this track. Boasts a course and distance PB in a lightning 20.39. Top chance.

Good effort to win last start by 0.8 lengths over 365m at this track in a handy (20.66), beating Romani Lass. Must be a winning chance again.

Good effort last time when second (21.09) over 365m at this track. Jumps from a wide draw. Will need plenty of luck.
