Nottingham Race 1 - Ebf Fillies' Novice Stakes (Gbb Race)
This could go to CASTLEROCK GIRL (3) who brings top form after a highly promising debut second when beaten 1.25L in a 1200m Southwell novice two weeks ago. Sent off favourite that day and should be popular in the market again. Top chance with improvement likely. VENETIAN STORM (7) is the pick of the newcomers. This Night Of Thunder filly is from a smart family on the dam's side. Deserves a market check. SPELL CATCHER (6) is by Dubawi and appeals first time out. Dam won on debut so should be primed for this. CALIFORNIAN ANGEL (1) produced a 1.5L second in a 1200m Haydock novice last time. One to note on that run.

Second-up. First-up after two months 2nd in a small field at Haydock Park on September 4 over 1200m, on rain affected going; 1.5 len behind Etonnante carrying 58kg at $12. Previously second-up 6th of 8 in the LR Empress Stakes at Newmarket (July) on June 25 over 1200m, 5.5 len behind Glorious Game carrying 58kg at $9. Will be hard to beat.

Having third race start. When well in the market at debut, ran second last in a small field at Lingfield All Weather on August 25 over 1200m, 42 len behind Lazurite carrying 58kg at $4.50. Second-up ran second last of 8 at Great Yarmouth on September 16 over 1200m, 12 len behind Bidsta carrying 58kg at $41. May need more time.
