Nottingham Bags Race 3

Pgr On Sky Sports Red Button Stakes

Prize Money: $910

MAC THE LAD (3) is long overdue for a win, finishing in the minors at his last three starts, the latest jumping from this same trap when second in a HCP at this track (31.22). Deserves another chance. BASIC INSTINCT (4) has a fair record and proved too classy last time to win by 1.3 lengths at this track in a handy 30.97 beating Swift Doireann. Can make it back-to-back wins. BABY BONO (1) was a HCP winner two back at this track then although missed the placings finished on the winners' heels when fourth (31.59) at this track. Has the ability and expected to do much better. MURLENS ASTRA (2) was out of the money at this circuit last start but can turn the form around.

Got back early in the race last start when fourth over 500m at this track. Before that won by 2.5 lengths at this track (31.09) beating Weatheroak Chef in a HCP on June 25. Will not find this easy. Not keen.
