Nottingham Bags Race 9 - Arena Racing Company Select Stakes
ROMEO TOMCAT (5) goes very well at this journey here having never missed the frame including two wins and two placings. Comes off a (29.28) win last time, scoring by a nose in a OR over 491m at Central Park. Makes strong appeal on best. STRIKE IT SKYE (2) found some support last start but struggled into fourth (28.56), beaten 6 lengths. Was in the money the start prior. Has a solid record from this box including four wins and a minor placing. One of the main contenders. WICKY NED (1) boasts strong form at this course and distance having won three times from four starts. In the money last time at Monmore (28.35) in a OR1, finishing a 5.5 lengths third. Looks suited here and can measure up. BALLYMAC RALF (3) was strongly fancied last time but ran below expectations when fifth (30.26), beaten 6 lengths. Yet to score from this box but has never missed the frame in two starts.

Racing consistently, including a win two back at Monmore, before a 5.5 lengths third (28.35) over 480m at Monmore last time. The form from the last run stacks up well. Worth including.

In the money two back then disappointed when she finished 4th in a OR1 on August 15 over 480m at Monmore behind Woltemade beaten 6 lengths (28.56). Strong form emerging from the that last run. Leading chance.
