Nottingham Bags Race 11

Arena Racing Company Standard Trophy Div 1

Prize Money: $1,437

POLY STYRENE (3) finished in the minors last time but only a few starts back broke the clock when winning over 500m at Towcester, taking a OR in a scintillating 28.92. Looks the one to beat on best figures. NO BETTER FEELIN (2) is better than last start when fourth (29.08) in a OR1 at Monmore over 480m. Solid record here winning 13 races. Must be included in calculations. ZENITH TANJU (1) has a strong overall record having nine wins and 13 places from 31 starts but was out of the money last time when fourth (28.98) over 480m at Monmore. Performs well off this trap. Super consistent and can feature with the right run. SANTAS TORNADO (4) generally performs well from this box.

Comments

Recent form has been ordinary, but he does have good record over this track and distance. More than capable and has to be included.

Comments

Turned in a better effort over 500m at Towcester last start, finishing third behind Fabulous Aria in a OR. Has the early speed to land on the pace and can stick on. Should be right in the finish.
