Nottingham Race 5 - Hospitality At Nottingham Racecourse Fillies' Hcp

Easy to make a case for all five runners in this event. DISTANT SHORE (3) provided good headway from the rear when beaten just a head on her first attempt of the journey at Sandown a month ago. Gets the verdict here. DARZAH (2) beat home LUNA CELESTE (5) by 0.75L over 1600m at Newmarket last time. The latter is now weighted to go closer and both hold plenty of scope for improvement. PORTH EILIAN (4) is a progressive filly who scored twice on her last three outings both tackling this trip. Shouldn't be far away. Sole four-year-old GREAT MATES (1) might find this a bit tougher than last time however is hard to fault on her overall profile.
