Nerve Not Verve (NZ) (Shocking) swung her form around at Sandown Lakeside on Wednesday, leaving an interrupted preparation behind by winning the Ladbrokes Easy Form Handicap (2100m) for fillies and mares. Trainer Michael Moroney wanted to campaign Nerve Not Verve during the Queensland Winter Carnival but a series of setbacks impacted her form this campaign, resulting in four unplaced efforts, which saw her remain stabled at Flemington. Moroney was consequently delighted to see the five-year-old mare by 2009 Melbourne Cup winner Shocking return to form as Mark Zahra made full…

The four-year-old stayer was able to sit off the speed and grind down another former Kiwi in Lord Bouzeron (NZ) (Falkirk) in the straight with Paul Gatt in the saddle, Doudle believing the decision to hold the…
