2:40 Nottingham Racing Tips (31st October)

NOTTINGHAM 2.40 (7.0)

The going forecast for this meeting is given as good and good to firm in places with a stick reading of 7.7 so I'm hoping it stays that way as its the only sprint for the day. 

OCELOT comes out 5th top using a time from Ascot this year and usually tracks the leaders. 

SAMOVAR may not like the going unless it rains and one i would lay if it remains dry 

SUWAAN has been known to lead before but needs to improve timewise to win this race 

TAN is usually running on strongly at this distance, my 3rd top rated so could make the frame 

WRENTHORPE has only recorded slow times at this distance on g/f going, races near the pace 

DR DORO another possible leader but not in my top 5 speed figures so may struggle here 

BECKER has only done relatively slow times and may need further to flourish 

GRANDFATHER TOM usually likes to track the leaders but needs to improve to win this race 

SUITCASE N TAXI hasn't done a fast enough time and hasn't been in good form recently 

MADAME BOUNTY be staying on at the finish but likely to be too late to even make the frame

BELLEVARDE isn't in my top 5 but is versatile tactics wise apart from actually leading 

YORKSHIREDEBUT is 2nd top rated on a 2017 Nottingham time but poor recent form 

LYDIATE LADY my 3rd top rated and the trainer does well here, doesn't want it too fast going 

UNDERCOVER BROTHER my top rated and a possible pacesetter and only a 3-year-old 

PAVERS PRIDE outside my top 5 but quite a versatile type 

BELLEDESERT another possible pacesetter needs to improve timewise. 

SUMMARY: There's 7 horses in this race that have led before so it should be a true run race, my joint 3rd top rated pair, Tan and Lydiate Lady, could be the ones to prosper if they go off too fast but my top 2 ratings are both front-running types, Yorkshiredebut is my 2nd top rated but recorded it on a flat type of course in 2017 but hasn't been at that level so far this year and this stiffer course might not suit it as well either but my top rated is the 3-year-old UNDERCOVER BROTHER 33/1 who could possibly be able to improve even further and if getting to the front ought to prove very hard to pass and the price means I will be having each way wager.

Undercover Brother 50/1 Unp

5:25 Nottingham - Gaelic Wizard Hot to Trot at 20/1

NOTTINGHAM 5.25
An apprentice riders handicap and no whips allowed so already I'm on the back foot simply because some horses need some stoking to win a race and might not get ridden properly here, I'm putting forward GAELIC WIZARD 20/1 as the selection, its a front running sort and if getting to the lead could prove hard to beat, so I will have an each way wager here but again my stakes will be kept on the lower side of things.

Gaelic Wizard 20/1 5th

8:25 Nottingham Racing Tips (11th May)

NOTTINGHAM 8.25
There's quite a few runners in this field of 13 that look to have virtually no chance of winning, never say never,Classic Flyer is well weighted on 2016 times but nothing like that level since, Arnold is 3rd top using a time from Hamilton 2017, Whitecrest is my 2nd top rated and this one likes a fast pace to aim at as it finishes strongly if the leaders fade as well hes capable of winning but maybe there wont be a frantic early pace with just 2 known front runners and my top rated ORIENTAL RELATION 14/1 is 1 of those 2 and if getting to the front ought to prove to be very hard to catch and luckily its an each way price as a bit of insurance.

Oriental Relation 16/1 Unp
