Nottingham Race 5 - Beer Festival 12Th April Handicap (Div 2)
PLAY ME (2) looked promising as a debutante when third behind a smart performer. Failed to deliver in two subsequent starts. Racing for new stable and prospects are improved stepping up in trip on handicap debut. Chance. ZARATHOS (1) was third from this rating at Southwell in February. Leading player if able to replicate that level on turf. ANTIQUITY (4) gained a second win of the year at Newcastle (1614m) and is another with sound claims if able to translate form to this surface. DUKE ORSINO (9) showed potential running fourth in a 1408m Kempton novice. May progress switching to handicaps.

Resuming after a six months break. Finished off last campaign seventh of 12 at Wolverhampton October 7 over 1400m, 9 len behind Sea Baaeed with 60.5kg at $13. On debut third of 8 at Thirsk August 30 over 1600m, 5 len behind Tuscan Hills with 60.5kg at $4.50. This is an ideal race to kick off. Expected to go well with that initial campaign under his belt.
