Nottingham Bags Race 5

Nottingham-Greyhounds.co.uk 480M Trophy

Prize Money: $1,782

AERO BECKS (2) clocked a dominant 28.35 when winning over 480m at Monmore last start. Smart win latest and looks a key chance again here. COOLCROO SAPHIRE (6) finished fourth last time (30.60) at this track after winning at her previous two outings. Form here at the trip sound including nine wins. Worth following up. SHARBEN ROSE (4) was popular in betting last start but disappointed when 7 lengths away in sixth (30.83). Was in the money the start prior. In the mix. KELVA AIR (1) can measure up with the right run.

Charged out of the boxes with a scorching early sectional recording 30.61 in a 3 length win at this track last time. In form but prefer the place this tough line-up.

Good effort to score last start by a head over 480m at Monmore in 28.35, beating Blu Bert. Goes very well from this draw including three wins. Solid prospects.

In great form and hasn't been out of the frame in six starts. Last start finished 3rd over 480m at this track beaten 3.5 lengths (29.41) behind Droopys Artilery in a OR on June 23. Fought on last time. Has the ability and right in the mix.

In the money two back then disappointed when she finished last in an A2 on June 23 over 500m at this track behind Kilgarran Jay beaten 7 lengths (30.83). Look for improvement. Not out of it.

In sparkling form at the moment, having scored four on the trot. Fastest winner on the program latest with a 29.13 success over 480m at this track. On a hot winning streak and likely to score again.

Got back early in the race last start when fourth over 500m at this track. Before that won by 2.25 lengths at this track (30.24) beating Sharben Rose in an A2 on June 16. Can't make much of a case this time.
