Nottingham Bags Race 11

Arena Racing Company Standard Trophy

Stake: $3,381

SLICK SKYLARK (4) caught the eye when posting a dazzling 28.97 over 500m at Towcester. In form and can measure up again. HOPES OMPALOOMPA (2) was in the placings last time but shapes well for this on his dazzling win the start prior, getting around this track over 500m in 29.57. Top win two back and rates a key player again. MAD FOR CASH (3) is a talented dog who is a winner of seven races but missed the frame last time when fourth at Romford (35.47). Has a solid record from this box including two wins and a minor placing. Worth another chance. SKYFALL MINI (1) looks overdue after a minor placing two back then finishing third at her latest appearance in a OR at Hove over 515m (30.76). Deserves another chance this far easier class.

Followed a minor placing at this track two runs ago with a sound third, beaten 3 lengths, last start in a OR at Hove over 515m (30.76). In solid form and can win without surprising.

Had won two on end but missed the hat-trick last start when third and beaten 6 lengths (29.55) in a OR3 over 500m at Hove. Deserves another chance.

Good win last start as odds-on favourite by 5 lengths over 500m at Towcester in a handy 28.97, beating Bower Aoibhin. Looks the one to beat.

Form has been sound without winning, placing at his last four starts, the latest when third (28.58) over 450m at Doncaster. Other runners look much more appealing.
