Nottingham Bags Race 8

Arc Stayers Trophy

Prize Money: $1,572

SLIPPY NORA (2) has been in the minors the last two, the latest showing blistering pace early but gathered in and finished a 3.5 lengths third over 500m this track in 30.52. Racing well and deserves a win. BALLYMAC ARCHER (4) is a last start placegetter in an A2, jumping from this trap and finishing 4.5 lengths away in second over 500m at this track. Goes very well from this same draw winning four races. Should be in this for a long way. VALE BLUEBELL (3) was in the placings last time but prior to that produced a fast 30.21 win over 500m at this track. Has the ability and looks a key chance. STONEPARK ABBA (1) can find the frame without surprising.

Last start finished 4th over 480m at Sheffield beaten 10 lengths (28.33) behind Kilmore Dancer in a OR1 on June 22. Look for improvement. Not out of it.

Flew the lids with a sizzling early split but could manage only third (30.52) over 500m at this track. Hasn't been far away. Don't underestimate.

Hit the ground running with a sizzling early sectional and gave a sight but found one better when runner up at this track clocking 30.26. Racing well and can find winning form again.

Flew the lids with a hot pace early and hit the frame with a 4.5 lengths second (30.61) at this track, making it two placings on end. Others better.

Had won two on end but missed the hat-trick last start when third and beaten 7 lengths (29.29) in an A3 over 480m at Monmore. Prepared to give her another chance.
