Nottingham Bags Race 5 - Book A Winning Deal For £15 Stakes

THURLESBEG TONTO (5) struggled in tougher grade last start after losing his position early at this track, but prior to that won by 1.5 lengths at this track (30.85) beating Noteworthy in an A3 on August 3. Can make amends. VAIR LITTLE LEGS (6) finished a one length second last start over 500m at this track in a quick 30.37. Has the ability and looks a key chance. CRAFTY MERINO (4) impressed last time when clocked a handy 30.37 to finish third behind Flyers Swiftly in a new PB this course and distance. Will be in this for a long way. MONBEG BELLA (2) won from box 2 last start – one to keep very safe.

Good effort to score last start by one length over 500m at this track in 30.29, beating Vair Little Legs. Has claims if at her best.

Racing well of late. In the money two starts back at this track then finished runner-up at her latest appearance in an A3 at this track over 500m (30.37). The one they have to overcome.
