Nottingham Bags Race 11

Nottingham-Greyhounds.co.uk Stakes

Prize Money: $971

CRAFTY ELMO (6) has performed well at his last couple of runs here, most recently when third beaten 3.5 lengths (30.05). Will give a great sight again. VALE BLUEBELL (1) was well fancied in betting last start but could only manage 4 lengths away in third (30.66). Although beaten ran one of the quickest times on the card last start. Well-placed to take this out. SWIFT HOME (3) is a capable type and proved too classy last time to win by 7 lengths at this track in a handy 30.24 beating New Cross Nights. Winner at her latest appearance in one of the quickest times on the card. One of the leading chances again. WOLF MOON (5) turned spotting a big start finishing sixth (30.70) last time in an A2 at this track.
