Nottingham Bags Race 3

Retired Greyhounds Make Great Pets Stakes

Prize Money: $1,004

SWIFT KIPPER (5) shapes well after a slick run last time, finishing third in an A1 at this track in 29.83. Should be in this for a long way. GLENHEAD SAM (4) has been out of the placings at his last two starts but prior to that clocked a brilliant 30.10 win over 500m at this track. Has the ability and can find winning form again. AGHABURREN BEN (2) posted a swift 29.70 when placed over 500m at this track last start in a OR. Top win latest and can measure up again. HEADFORD BABS (1) comes off a (29.73) win last time, scoring by half a length in an A1 over 500m at this track. Has already won four times from this trap.

Handy type with a solid strike-rate. Winner two back then well fancied last time and could manage only third over 500m at this track in 29.83. Ran one of the fastest times on the program last start despite finishing in the minors.
