Nottingham Bags Race 7

Chris Rudd Challenge Cup

Stake: $1,034

BALLYCOWEN MILA (6) has been in the money at her last two runs, most recently when second (30.67) in a HCP over 500m at this track. Better than last run and makes appeal this time. HONOUR MESSI (2) is shooting for the hat-trick after consecutive handicap wins, the latest by 0.8 lengths starting off 12m at this track over 500m (30.32). Will start off 10m. Hard to knock the recent form. ROWINGTON RIPPLE (1) has been hot and cold of late in handicaps. Won two back when starting 13m from scratch at this track then finished sixth at her latest appearance when starting off 8m from the scratch dog at this track over 500m (30.87). Takes on another handicap here and jumps with a 10m advantage. Cannot be ruled out. BURGESS GAMBLER (5) had trap 4 and was game in defeat when only a head from Kranky Don in second (30.74) at this track. Must be included in calculations.
