Nottingham Bags Race 5

Nottingham Owners & Trainers Night Fifth Trophy

Stake: $908

HEADFORD ASTRID (2) comes off an average effort last start when sixth at this track over 500m behind Hollys Gold (32.26) in an A7. Was in the money prior to that. Ready to return to form. MELDRUMS STAR (3) doesn't win out of turn but looks close to breaking through. Has finished in the placings two on end now, the latest when second (30.69) at this track. Overdue and gets his chance. RACKETHALL NIFTY (1) turned spotting a big start finishing fifth (31.74) last time in an A7 at this track. Has ability and can atone. KIECHEZA (5) is worth another chance despite missing the top-three here most recently.

In the money two back then disappointed when she finished last in an A7 on August 22 over 500m at this track behind Hollys Gold beaten 14 lengths (32.26). More than capable and well placed to find her best form.

In the money at this track at his last couple of starts, most recently finishing second over 500m. Won't find this any harder. Hard to beat with even luck.

Could only manage sixth last time out over 500m at this track, adding to some plain results of late. Can't make much of a case this time.

Charged out of the boxes with a sizzling early sectional but swamped late when a close up fifth (32.45) at this track over 500m. Happy enough to dismiss in this field.
