Nottingham Bags Race 12

Arc Sprint Trophy

Prize Money: $1,420

EZE (5) scored in best time on card (15.12) latest winning by a nose at Oxford in OR. Missed the frame only look here. The form out of last race has been strong. Expected to measure up again. SOME HIKER (4) ran a respectable 29.30 when filling a minor placing over 500m at Sheffield last start. In form and looks a leading player again. TIME COUNTS (3) jumped from a low draw and boxed on well to finish second last time, beaten a nose (17.86) behind Nunos Nugget at this track. Although beaten ran one of the quickest times on the card last start. Can feature again. MICHELLE MY BELL (1) will be hard to beat despite making her debut at this circuit.

Form of late has been fair. Unplaced two starts back at Sheffield then finished runner-up at his latest appearance in an A2 at Sheffield over 500m (29.30), beaten one length. Ready to find winning form.

Good performance after tracking the speed to score in a OR by nose at Oxford over 253m (15.12). The form out of the last run measures up. Hard to beat.
