Nottingham Bags Race 8

Dine In Classics Restaurant Stakes

Stake: $1,048

HOLLYS DREAM (5) tends to take a while to wind up, running on to score two back before spotting a start latest and finishing on strongly into third (30.45) in a HCP at this track. Goes well out of this box with a win and two minor placings. Must come into calculations. RACKETHALL NIFTY (3) rocketed out of the boxes with a scorching early sectional but gathered in and finished in the minors when second (31.14) at this track over 500m. Leading player again. SPOT THE LOONY (6) broke a string of placings finishing in the money three on end before a last start fourth (30.57) at this track. Has ability and is one of the better chances. BLACKFRIARS BETH (4) should bounce back after an unplaced effort here recently.

Could only manage sixth last time out over 500m at this track, adding to some plain results of late. Likely to struggle this time.

Followed an unplaced run at this track with a sound second last start in an A7 at this track over 500m (31.14). Takes on a handicap here and jumps with a 9m advantage. Should go close switching back to handicapping.

Impressive lately in handicaps, scoring two back at this track then third when off 2m at this track over 500m (30.45). Will start off scratch. Talented handicapper who has three wins and five placings from 11 runs from the staggered start.
