Nottingham Bags Race 8

Jonty's 60Th Birthday Celebration Stakes

Prize Money: $975

KILGARRAN JAY (3) was a winner two back when prominent throughout then got further back last time and could manage only a 6 length 5th at this track (30.69). Tough to beat if on-song. SHARBEN ROSE (4) has a fair record and proved too strong last time to win by 2.25 lengths at this track in a handy 30.22 beating Kind Cian. One of the leading chances again. COOLCROO SAPHIRE (6) comes here after a solid win at this track over 500m in 30.18. Smart winner latest and looks a key chance on that form. BALLYMAC DUKE (1) comes into calculations after placing at this track and distance most recently.

Big odds but gave a huge sight after burning early, finishing a 0.8 lengths second (30.42) over 500m at this track. Has ability and worth including.

Not seen at best last start when he finished last on June 9 over 500m at this track behind Sharben Rose beaten 7 lengths (30.79) in an A2. Can't make much of a case this time.

Solid effort after racing in the second half of the field and improving to score in an A2 by 2.25 len at this track over 500m (30.22). Recorded one of the quickest times on the card last time. Worth following up.
