Nottingham Bags Race 6

John's Birthday Trophy

Prize Money: $1,778

HEATHMILL NIDGE (3) finished third last start over 275m at Perry Barr but was game in defeat in a respectable 16.35. Rates a top chance again if runs up to latest. TIME COUNTS (1) is generally an honest type in the frame at 44 of 119 starts but missed the placings last time when fourth (18.73) over 305m at this track. Form at the trip sound including 16 wins. Best form too dangerous to ignore. Have to include. LEELAD (5) won again and recorded an impressive time after running them ragged making it three straight, scoring by 3 lengths (29.05) at this track over 480m. Recorded one of the quickest times on the card in scoring last start. Must be included in calculations. POPPER MOODY (2) will need to run right up to last start to feature again.

Good effort after racing in the second half of the field and improving to score in a OR by 0.8 len at this track over 305m (18.25). Prepared to risk this time.

Finished fourth two starts ago then regained form last time out when he found a couple better over 275m in a D1 at Perry Barr. Cannot enthuse despite that better recent effort.

In the money two back then disappointed when he finished last in a D1 on July 10 over 305m at this track behind Time Counts beaten 7 lengths (18.85). Look for improvement. Not out of it.

Handy type with a solid strike-rate. Winner two back then well fancied last time and could manage only second over 255m at this track in 15.38. Ran one of the fastest times on the program last start despite finishing in the minors.
