Nottingham Bags Race 8

Homing Dogs With Seaside Greyhounds Stakes

Stake: $1,043

HOPEYTHEDANCER (4) has been in the minors the last two, the latest showing blistering pace early but gathered in and finished a 2 length second over 500m this track in 31.44. Has performed well from this box with a win and two minor placings to her name from six starts. Likely to feature again. EVAS ANGEL (3) turned in a moderate run last time when fourth at this track over 500m behind Baby Arc (31.54). Has ability and can atone. THISTLECRACK BOY (6) has been beaten for early speed lately, last time finishing fifth (31.34) in a HCP at this track. Bold showing expected. MELDRUMS STAR (5) followed a moderate fourth at this track two runs ago with another plain effort last time when starting 12m from scratch in a handicap, finishing fourth, beaten 3 lengths, at this track over 500m (30.40). Tackles another handicap here and will jump off scratch.

Racing well. In the money two starts back at this track then finished runner-up at her latest appearance in an A8 at this track over 500m (31.44). Returns to the handicaps here and will jump off 3m. Sure to play a major role.
