Nottingham Bags Race 8

Homing Dogs With Home Run Hounds Stakes

Prize Money: $936

THISTLECRACK BOY (5) turned in a moderate performance last time when sixth at this track over 500m behind Spot The Loony (33.85) in a HCP. Strong form has emerged from his last run. Can bounce back. BILLS CAXTON (6) has a moderate overall strike-rate. Finished second (30.88) at this track latest and might be close to finding winning form again. Yet to score from this box but has never missed the frame in two starts. Hard to beat again. THAT SOUND (3) followed a win at this track two runs ago with a modest fourth, beaten 3.5 lengths, last start in an A7 at this track over 500m (31.38). Returns to a handicap here and will break from the 7m mark. Overall a genuine handicapper who has five wins and six placings from 15 runs from the staggered start. Not out of contention. ROGERTHEDODGE (4) followed a moderate fifth at this track two runs ago with another plain effort last time to finish fifth, beaten 8 lengths, in an A7 at this track over 500m (31.48). Tackles a handicap and will jump off 5m. Worth another chance.

Surprise winner two starts back at this track when scoring by 1.3 lengths in 30.89. Last start finished last on June 26 over 500m at this track behind Kranky Don beaten 25 lengths (32.98) in a HCP. Likely to find this a bit tough.

Finished fourth two starts ago then regained form last time out when he found one better over 500m in an A5 at this track. Heading the right way looks well placed to take this out.
