Nottingham Bags Race 9

Bgbf Britsh Breeders Stakes - 1St Semi-Final

Stake: $1,910

ROMEO EMPIRE (1) stalked the lead from the inside draw before finishing second last start (29.62) at this track in OR1 over 500m. Recorded one of the quickest times on the card last start despite being beaten. Must come into calculations. IZZYS TENPIN (4) is a super honest type rarely out of the placings, including wins at his last two on end, the latest at this track (29.95). Has a strong winning record at this journey. Super consistent and can feature with the right run. EAGLES RESPECT (5) clocked a strong 30.02 finishing third in a OR1 at this track last start. Should be in this for a long way. BLACKHOUSE KIM (6) cannot be overlooked following a recent top-three finish.

Didn't fire two runs back then progressed nicely last time to finish second over 500m at this track. Can take this out on the back of that sound recent effort.

Followed a minor placing at Towcester two runs ago with a sound third, beaten 6 lengths, last start in a OR1 at this track over 500m (30.47). In form but this is a test.

In the money at this track at his last couple of starts, most recently finishing third over 500m. Won't find this much harder. Right in the mix.
