Nottingham Bags Race 5 - Nottingham-Greyhounds.co.uk Maiden Sprint Trophy

SOBER GEMSTONE (2) returned a better run last time, finishing in the money (24.50) at Suffolk Downs behind Come Back Kid in a OR. Has the pace to be prominent. Good form should continue. BLACKSTONE BENNY (3) steps out for the first time at this track. In the money last start when second (16.08) at Dunstall Park over 270m. Ran one of the fastest times on the program last start despite finishing in the minors. Leading player again. SWOOP SWOOP (6) was safely held last time out, finishing fifth at Monmore over 264m behind Vixons Vanilla (16.28) in a D3. Was in the money the start prior. Worth another chance. ELSIES CHAMP (4) cannot be dismissed although new to this venue.

Could only manage fifth last time out over 275m at Doncaster, a continuation of some ordinary form. This looks too tough.
