Nottingham Bags Race 8

Homing Dogs With Home Run Hounds Stakes

Prize Money: $873

CRUISER FINN (6) is in hot form winning his last three on end, the latest jumping from this same trap to score in a HCP at this track (30.37). Looks the one to beat again. BLACKFRIARS GOLD (5) made it two in a row in the handicaps when she scored by a neck last start when jumped from scratch at this track over 500m (30.93). Has a 5m start on the scratch dog. A talented handicapper who has three wins and four placings from nine runs from the staggered start. Hard to knock the recent form. SKYFALL BLISS (1) has been out of the placings the last couple but was an A7 winner (31.00) three back at this track. Has the ability and can find best this time. SWIFT DOIREANN (2) has mixed her form recently. In the money two back at this track then tackled a handicap when started off 4m at her latest appearance and finished fourth at this track over 500m (30.68). Returns to a handicap here and will jump from the 10m mark. A better run is on the cards.

Finished off last campaign with a fourth in an A7 over 500m at this track five months ago. Looks one of the better hopes in the race.

In sparkling form lately having won three races on the trot. Last start won by a head at this track (30.37) beating Ballyhimikin Lee in a HCP on July 3. Yet to be beaten in three starts out of this draw. Sure to go well.
