Nottingham Race 4 - British Stallion Studs Ebf Nursery (Gbbplus Race)
Recent runner-up AKARAKA (3) looks the one to beat having progressed when switching into handicaps for the first time running 1L second in a 1600m Thirsk Class Five handicap thirty two days ago. Brings untapped potential in low-grade handicaps and must be a major player in this. CROWN RANGER (1) has been running well for a while. Needs more on a latest 6.25L Yarmouth maiden fourth over 1800m. Holds ability to feature now back in handicaps. NORTHERN VIOLA (5) arrives after a 0.75L Beverley 1700m Class Five handicap success. Likely more to come so warrants respect. FOSCARINI (4) finds an easier race here and could improve.

Third-up today. Resuming 4th of 9 at Thirsk on September 5 over 1600m, 3.5 len behind Prince Kameo carrying 52.5kg at $81. Second run from a spell ran on from midfield and won by 0.8 len at Beverley on September 16 over 1600m defeating Prince Kameo with 52kg at $15. Profiles nicely. Has upside and can make it two on the trot.
