Nottingham Bags Race 9 - ARC Sprint Trophy Heat 2
DA DON (2) has a strong overall record having five wins and eight places from 17 starts but was out of the money last time when fourth (24.28) over 400m at Romford. Form here excellent including three wins. Looks well placed here and should prove hard to beat again. KNOTMOR ACE (3) was below best at his last start when 6th at Kinsley following a third place finish (18.18) at this track two back. Yet to score from this box but has never missed the frame in two starts. Has ability and a bold showing is expected. LEELAD (6) boasts a strong record this journey here with 10 wins and 10 minors from 27 tries. In the money last time at this track (30.34) in an A2, finishing a 5 length second. Looks one of the chances. SWIFT OILEAN (4) missed the top-three despite market support last time but should feature.

Good effort to score last start by 1.5 lengths over 264m at Monmore in 15.75, beating Spring Dancer. Can't make much of a case this time.

In the money two back then disappointed when he finished 4th in a OR1 on March 20 over 400m at Romford behind Bombay Buck beaten 8 lengths (24.28). Had been in strong form, hitting the frame two times on end, before the latest effort.

Filled a minor placing last time over 500m (30.34) at this track in an A2, beaten 5 lengths. Strong record at this track and trip with 10 wins and 10 placings from 27 starts. Makes strong appeal.
