Nottingham Race 3

Grassroots Series Final Nursery

Prize Money: $55,350

An open-looking nursery handicap with the market to guide. RARE CHANGE (4) is a half-brother to three handy performers and represents a stable and jockey combination in form. Warrants thought. The recently gelded EIGHTEENCARATGOLD (6) is a half-brother to Newmarket G2 place-getter Dhabab and poised to go well. Penultimate start Carlisle winner STIRRUP CUP (3) followed-up with a decent second at Ayr. Enters calculations. BLEWBURTON (2) landed a decent Leicester maiden on racecourse debut. Completes the shortlist.

At the latest run second last of 8 at Doncaster on September 13 over 1200m, 9 len behind Shout carrying 57.5kg at $12. Before that 2nd of 7 at Hamilton Park on September 4 over 1200m, on heavy track; nose behind Our Mighty Mo with 59.5kg at $12. Disappointing of late and looks safely held.

At the latest run 4th of 10 at Lingfield All Weather on September 11 over 1400m, 2 len behind Sofia The First with 56kg at $5.50. The run before that 2nd of 12 at Lingfield All Weather on August 27 over 1400m, nose behind Creative Lady carrying 58kg at $4.30. Certainly worth another chance.

Comes here off a 56-day let-up. Most recently 4th of 10 at Kempton Park All Weather on August 7 over 1200m, 1.3 len behind Leyhaimur carrying 60.5kg at $6. Before that 5th of 15 at Bath on July 17 over 1100m, 6 len behind Jr Climbs with 60.5kg at $19. Not far away last time but looks tested without further improvement.
