Nottingham Bags Race 2

Mongys Tiger Greyhound Dog Of The Month April 2026

Prize Money: $879

HONOUR BACH (1) is an honest type rarely out of the money, scoring at this track (30.01) last time and making it two straight wins. Has a good record here at this journey. Rates strongly and will go close from the inside draw. MONGYS TIGER (3) is a capable type and proved too classy last time to win by a nose at this track in a handy 30.18 beating Stellas Smartie. Comes through a solid form race last start. Form should stack up. HARDY BUCKO (4) finished fourth last time at Towcester but could not have been more impressive before that in his lightning 29.55 win at this track over 500m. Top win two back and rates a key player again. RATHCOOLE REDS (5) hit the frame here last start so don't underestimate.

Comments

Has been in the minors last two runs, the latest at big odds finishing third (28.86) at this track. Coming off a solid run but has won just three of 32 starts. Will need plenty of luck.

Racing well of late. In the money two starts back at this track then finished third at his latest appearance in an A1 at this track over 500m (30.29). Not to be underestimated.
