Nottingham Bags Race 9 - Arena Racing Company Puppy Classic Heat 5

NICKY SWITHIN (1) was an impressive winner two back but last start drifted back and wound up strongly to finish a 2 length third at this track (30.35). Winning claims. GOOD HORMUZ (3) won by a head last start when getting around Doncaster 450m in a superb 27.88. Harder here but expected to measure up. MAGICAL HAWK (2) caught the eye when posting a superb 28.57 over 480m at Monmore three back then has hit the frame in both runs since. Top win three back and can measure up again. KERRS RANCHER (4) is down a grade after finishing fourth two starts back at Hove then was again out of the placings at his latest appearance in a OR at Monmore over 480m (29.43). Worth another chance this line-up.
