Nottingham Bags Race 6

Book A Winning Deal For £13 Stakes

Stake: $1,034

FIREBIRD REX (6) was out of in the placings when fifth last time but prior to that posted a fast 30.29 win over 500m at this track. Hot win two back and looks the one to beat here. GRANGEVIEW DREAM (2) was in the placings last time but prior to that produced a speedy 30.26 win over 500m at this track. Expecting another bold showing. POOKIES HANNIBAL (4) stuck on well last time to finish 0.8 lengths back in third (30.58) at this track in an A3 over 500m. Overdue and gets his chance. VELVET DIANA (5) can run a bold race on best form.

Didn't fire two runs back then progressed nicely last time to finish third over 500m at this track. Cannot enthuse despite that better recent effort.
