Nottingham Bags Race 7

Homing Dogs With Home Run Hounds Stakes

Prize Money: $793

MOYOLA SLIABH (3) hit the frame with a narrow second two runs back then claimed an A3 by one length at this track over 500m (30.44) last time. Up a notch this time but on latest effort looks the one to beat again. HIGHBURY GUNNER (2) showed blistering pace early and gave a sight when in the minors, beaten 6 lengths over 500m this track in 30.18. Expected to feature again. BRINKLEYS LOUIS (6) was safely held last time out, finishing sixth at this track over 500m behind Aghaburren Lewis (30.59) in an A2. Was in the money prior to that. Bold showing expected. ROXHILL MELITA (1) was out of the money here last time out but can bounce back. Something for the Multiples: CAPE ISLAND (5)

Races well at this course and distance. Last start finished last over 500m at this track beaten 6 lengths (30.57) behind Sambar Dream in an A2 on February 16. Can bounce back. One of the main chances.

Didn't fire two runs back then progressed nicely last time to finish third over 500m at this track. Heading the right way looks well placed to salute.

Comments

Good effort after tracking the speed to score in an A3 by 1.0 len at this track over 500m (30.44). Form from this trap is very strong, including two wins. Hard to beat.

Comments

Big odds last time but gave a huge sight after a scorching early split, weakening late to finish a 6 length fourth (30.47) over 500m at this track. Looks tested in this company.
