Shortest win price

Welcome to Nowra for the Antax Steel Mdn Hcp over 1200m on a good3 track under overcast skies. Punters looking at the win market order will find Nicolosi sitting at the head of affairs, closely followed by Diamond Dice, Capdiva, and Ponzi Scheme shaping up next in the betting order as they prepare for a fascinating battle over the sprint trip.
Taking a closer look at the form lines behind those shorter prices, Nicolosi comes out of a solid runner-up performance over this exact 1200m trip at Nowra where the runner was alertly away to lead and stuck on solidly at just the second career start for trainers G Waterhouse and A Bott, with Winona Costin in the saddle from barrier 8. Meanwhile, Diamond Dice represents Richard Litt with Keagan Latham steering from barrier 9, having shown plenty of promise and running a brave race when finishing third in a maiden plate at Bathurst off an extended spell, suggesting a fitter runner ready to have a big say here.
Further down the speed maps and race details, Capdiva maps as a leader alongside Nicolosi, with Damon Budler taking the ride from barrier 12 looking to bounce back after going to the line tamely at Newcastle last time out. Ponzi Scheme also holds claims for the Mitchell Beer and George Carpenter stable from barrier 5 after trying hard at Moruya when finishing third over this distance range, while Malietoa lurks as a backmarker carrying the top weight of 59kg for trainers Marc and Mitchell Conners after clocking the fastest overall finishing sectionals at the previous start.

Returns for second campaign (23-weeks). Disappointing debut performance at Hawkesbury 21 May. Better for the run. Good recent trial hit-out. Has plenty of scope to progress.

Racing fresh after a break. Started $12.00 and couldn't maintain the pace when 6th last run at Hawkesbury on a heavy track but having second career run. Respect the betting.
RP
Never landed a blow on his debut when sixth of seven over 6½f at Hawkesbury at 11-1 in May; this only his second handicap outing; returns from a layoff here; must now step up.
RSIS
Fresh today. Started at 11/1 and faded to finish 6th last time at Hawkesbury but was a debutant last start. Watch for a sign in the market.
