Nottingham Bags Race 5 - Arena Racing Company Puppy Classic Trial Stakes Div 1
ANNADOWN SHADOW (1) was out of in the placings when fourth last time but three runs back clocked a scintillating 28.88 win over 500m at Towcester. Has the ability and looks hard to top. SCOOBY MUSTANG (2) was strongly fancied to break through last time and justified the confidence with a maiden win at Monmore over 480m (28.65). Has placed two times at this trip. Expected to feature again. ANNADOWN BOCKO (5) boasts an excellent record and yet to miss the frame including one wins from four starts, the latest winning (29.23) over 491m at Central Park. Best form too dangerous to ignore. Have to include. VAHBELLE (4) warrants respect although new to this track.

Charged out of the boxes with a sizzling early sectional but swamped late when a close up fourth (29.47) at Towcester over 500m. Has been racing well. Well placed here and looks a leading contender.

Consistent performer who is new here. Nice win last start easily by 3 lengths at Hove (28.94) beating Headford Lily in a OR on April 30. Last run is a strong form reference. Worth following up.
