Nottingham Bags Race 6

Arc 480M Trophy - Heat 2

Prize Money: $1,721

ANTIGUA MARIO (3) has some solid form under his belt and proved too classy last time to win by 1.5 lengths at Towcester in a handy 29.58 beating GOLDEN BULLET. Form from his last run is proving to be solid. Has hit winning form and can measure up again. VELVET MADRID (1) finished in the minors last start over the 500m at this track but ran a handy 30.22 last start. This tougher but looks a leading chance again. FORDS GAMBLE (4) goes very well this trip starting 18 times for eight wins and six minors. Was out of placings last time (30.67) at Towcester in a OR, finishing sixth and beaten 13 lengths. Can hit the frame with the right run. GOLDEN BULLET (6) was strongly supported last start but missed the frame when fourth (30.04), beaten 4 lengths.

Finished third last start over 500m at this track behind Roanna Grout in an A1. Has the early speed to land on the pace and can stick on. Consistent performer from this trap. Top chance on best form.
