Nottingham Bags Race 8 - Arena Racing Company National Sprint - 1St Semi Final
BALLINAKILL LIAM (6) is yet to miss the placings in an excellent record this trip which boasts 11 wins and 11 placings. Recorded a 4 length win (17.64) in a OR last time at this track. Looks suited and should go close. NEWINN BACHELOR (5) is in sizzling form lately, rocketing around this track in 14.83 to score two back then following on with a 17.56 win over 305m at this track. In form and looks a leading player again. SHADOW STORM (1) was in the minors when resuming at this track where he finished second (17.68) in a OR2. Will strip fitter for the run. Has a strong record out of this box with three wins and a minor placing from four starts. Leading player again. BOCKOS BUSTER (4) can fill a top-three spot.

Unplaced two runs back then made impressive progress last time to finish second over 305m at this track. Back on track last time but this looks a stern test.

Unplaced two runs back then made impressive progress last time to be beaten just a nose into second over 305m at this track. Cannot enthuse despite that better recent effort.

Good effort to score last start by 4 lengths over 305m at this track in 17.79, beating Sunnyside Jayden. Looks a solid contender.

Comes off a (17.56) win last time, scoring by 1.5 lengths in a OR2 over 305m at this track. Boasts good form here at the journey with six wins and three minor placings from 10 tries. Appeals greatly.

In sparkling form lately having won four races on the trot. Well fancied last start won comfortably by 4 lengths at this track (17.64) beating Pro Parker in a OR on December 1. Comes out of a hot form race. Worth following up.
