Nottingham Race 5 - Neigh More Early Starts For Martin Stoneman Hcp
SPACE BEAR (5) narrowly missed the target by a nose over 1200m at Thirsk last week having raced prominently throughout. Little reason she won't be in the mix again. EMPEROR CARADOC (1) was not far behind the main selection in sixth attempting the aforementioned contest. Edging back to last winning rating and was twice a course winner last year. Looks dangerous. FENLANDER (4) brought up a quick double at Leicester when successful twelve days ago by 3.75L. Handicapper hasn't missed that and must pull out a bit more now. MASTER OF ENTROPY (7) may have held excuses at Chester. Cannot yet be written off providing his first try at sprinting.

Chasing a hat-trick. At the latest run favourite; scored a big 4 len win at Leicester June 13 over 1200m defeating Jersey Maverick with 57.5kg at $3.80. Before that favourite; won by 1.3 len at Leicester May 25 over 1200m defeating Spirit Of Jenny carrying 56.5kg at $5. Going well and should prove hard to beat.

Most recently ran second last of 7 at Chester on June 12 over 1500m, on a slow track; 8 len behind Miss Lady Grace carrying 58.5kg at $9. The start before that 5th of 10 at Redcar on May 7 over 1600m, 4.5 len behind Song Of The Clouds with 58.5kg at $11. Can't recommend.
