Nottingham Race 1 - Ebf Slip Anchor Mdn Stakes (Gbb Race)
CAELUM (1) made an encouraging debut when beaten 4L finishing behind a subsequent Listed winner at Newcastle (1000m) four weeks ago. Should take plenty from that opening outing and is poised to strike. LADY BRANKSOME (3) raced three times in quick succession over 1200m during May and June. Not sighted since. Best finish was when 1.75L runner-up at Ripon on second outing and should cope with this ease in journey. VIKING BARBIE (5) placed in three of her six starts to date. Fifth beaten 4.25L at Southwell latest. Could take a race of this nature at some stage. CRIMSON BLAZE (2) also received a few chances without scoring. Won't be far away.

At debut, rolled along in front before being edged out 2nd of 7 at Newcastle All Weather on September 3 over 1000m, 4 len behind Mussab with 60.5kg at $5.50. Should come on following that experience and looks one of the main contenders.

Form hard to fault. Most recently rolled along in front before being edged out 3rd of 7 at Bath on September 13 over 1000m, 2.75 len behind Big Hitter carrying 58kg at $34. The race before that ran second last in a small field at Lingfield All Weather on August 11 over 1000m, 7 len behind Bellatina with 58kg at $12. Among the chances based on that latest performance.

Resuming after a four months break. Finished off last campaign sixth of 9 at Chester June 12 over 1200m, 12 len behind Metamouse with 58kg at $3.80. On debut fifth of 10 at Kempton Park All Weather May 20 over 1200m, 3.5 len behind Magnesium with 58kg at $3.80. Has the talent to take this out.

Was at very long odds at debut, ran second last of 9 at Beverley on September 16 over 1000m, 20 len behind Myesme with 58kg at $67. Don't think she will trouble this field.

Comes off a 31 day let-up. Most recently 5th of 10 at Southwell All Weather on August 31 over 1000m, 4.5 len behind Beautiful Effort carrying 58kg at $7. The run before that led but faded 3rd of 9 at Lingfield All Weather on August 13 over 1000m, 1.3 len behind Sultan Darius carrying 59.5kg at $13. Capable of a lot more.
