Nottingham Bags Race 12 - Retired Greyhounds Make Great Pets Stakes

BELLMORE QUEEN (2) has a strong record this trip with three wins and four placings from nine starts. Was out of placings last time (30.79) at this track in an A2, finishing fifth and beaten 5.5 lengths. Looks well placed and should feature. VELVET MADRID (1) chased the lead early from the inside and boxed on well to finish second, beaten 7 lengths (28.83) at this track in a OR3 over 480m. The form out of the last run is proven to be strong. Winning chance. ALWAYSOPTIMISTIC (3) lit up the clock in 30.04 when winning an A2 over 500m at this track last start. Bold showing expected again. SPARTA PRO (5) cannot be overlooked following a recent top-three finish here at this distance.

Caught the eye last time with a sizzling early split which set up a 3.5 lengths win at this track in 29.94. This tougher again and prefer the place again.
