Nottingham Race 1

Ebf Desert Crown Novice Stakes (Gbb Race)

Prize Money: $18,450

CHEVERE (1) has gradually improved across each of his three starts. Just missed when second at this course and distance three weeks ago. Poised to go one better this time. CHRISTMAS IS COMIN (2) has been thereabouts on all four outings. Beaten only 1L third on nursery debut over 1000m at Bath latest. Anticipating another bold showing. APRICOT (3) is a newcomer for the Terry Kent stable. Minzaal filly and a half-sister to Assertively who was pretty sharp as a juvenile. No shock if she figures. DEBUTANTE (4) trailed last of four on opening run at Salisbury (1200m) in July. Might take plenty from that first experience.

Most recently 2nd of 7 at this track on October 14 over 1000m, nose behind Enriched carrying 60.5kg at $3.50. The run before that sat behind the speed prior to fading 7th of 15 at Newbury on September 18 over 1200m, 11 len behind Oakford with 60.5kg at $26. Making headway. Heading the right way and looks one of the hardest to beat.

Expected Settling Position: Midfield
