Nottingham Bags Race 8

Arc 480M Trophy

Prize Money: $1,717

NO BETTER FEELIN (1) is a promising dog in the frame at 25 of 52 starts including 15 wins and was a last start winner (29.19) over 500m at this track. Solid record here at this trip including seven wins. Drawn the fence and expected to go close. COOLRUSS DUNGARY (4) goes very well this trip starting 19 times for seven wins and seven minors. Missed the frame latest (30.53) when fifth over 483m at Doncaster in a OR3. Can feature with the right run. WHISKY ELSA (5) has been hard to follow lately, running fourth (28.98) last time but prior to that ran very well when placed at Monmore. Expected to do much better this time. DEELISH DENZEL (2) made it two minor placings on the trot when beaten third (28.66) in a OR3 at this track last time out.

Sent out long odds last time but rocketed early with a sizzling early sectional before being gathered in late, finishing third (30.32) over 500m at this track. This will test.

Unplaced two runs back then made impressive progress last time to be beaten just a head into second over 270m at Dunstall Park. Cannot enthuse despite that better recent effort.
