Dunstall Park Race 1

Arena Racing Company Birmingham Cup Trial Stake Div 3

Prize Money: $1,628

DROOPYS POKER (4) has a strong record this track and trip with four wins and two placings from seven starts. Placed last time (28.43) at Monmore in a OR, finishing second and beaten a nose. Looks well placed and should feature. VAHBELLE (2) missed the frame last time at Nottingham but just three runs back rocketed around 500m at Hove in 28.94. Top win three back and can measure up again. SKYFALL KHAN (3) is on a hot streak recording a 29.89 win over 500m at Nottingham last start following on from a powerful 30.04 victory at Nottingham over 500m the start prior. Recent form strong for this and rates a key player again. DA MIGHTY MAN (6) is always hard to beat when he races at this trip.

Hit the ground running with a sizzling early sectional but gathered in late to finish a 5 length fourth (29.94) at Nottingham. Fought on last time. Has the ability and right in the mix.

Consistent performer who is new here. Nice win last start by half a length at Nottingham (29.89) beating Rockhouse Woody in an A1 on August 19. Has never missed the frame in three starts from the draw. Solid prospects.

Racing well of late. In the money two starts back at Nottingham then finished runner-up at his latest appearance in a OR at Monmore over 480m (28.43). The one to beat.

Racing consistently, including a win two back at this track, before a half a length second (28.62) over 480m at this track last time. Narrowly beaten last time but this will test.
