Nottingham Race 3 - Dine In Sherwoods Restaurant Handicap
SPORTS DAY (3) is preferred with progressive form already in the book. Responded well for the step up to this distance when beaten 3.25L by a well-treated rival last time. Can continue the upward curve. THIMBLE (5) showed ability across three maiden starts. Moving into handicaps and beyond 1400m for the first time. Out of a decent mare who stayed well. Could improve. STEPANOV (2) received a gelding operation since last seen finishing fourth over 2200m. Likely contender. Lucky Vega half sister AURELUNE (9) and Henry Candy trained LABICHE (11) complete the shortlist. Both might have more to offer.

Second run back. First-up after six months 16th of 25 at Newbury on April 18 over 1600m, 11 len behind Exclusive Code with 60.5kg at $151. Previously second-up 4th of 7 at Haydock Park on October 17 over 1600m, 12 len behind Accredit with 59kg at $81. Looks a fair way off peak form so others are preferred.
