Nottingham Bags Race 12

Arena Racing Company Standard Trophy Div 2

Prize Money: $1,437

STELLAS SMARTIE (5) is a talented type and proved too classy last time to win by 3.5 lengths at Dunstall Park in a handy 28.56 beating Venetian Mario. Yet to miss the placings in 15 runs from this box, including eight wins. In top form and looks a key chance again. HASSELBOMB (2) boasts a strong record this course with two wins and two minors from five tries. Below best last time at this track (29.63) in a OR3, finishing a 9 length fourth. Can feature with the right run. BALLYMAC ODIN (4) turned spotting a big start finishing fourth (29.72) last time in a OR at Towcester. Has ability and a bold showing is expected. ARTHUR LOBSTER (1) was in the money last start and likely to feature again.

Comments

In the money two back then disappointed when he finished 4th in a OR3 on August 10 over 480m at this track behind Swift Kipper beaten 9 lengths (29.63). Has been around the mark at his last couple and should make his presence felt.

Finished in the minor money three back but has won two on end since, the latest a OR at Dunstall Park (28.56). Ran one of the fastest times on the program in that last win. Stay with him.
