Nottingham Race 1 - Ladies Day 9Th May 'Confined' Novice Stakes (GBB/GBBPlus Race) (Div 1)
DIRECTOR'S CUT (3) First up today. Finished well when winning last start at Newcastle. Genuine winning chance. INFRAAD (6) First run back from a break. Made some ground late when 2nd last start at Doncaster and was on debut last time. Gets a reduction in weight. Key player. MR BOLLINGER (7) Michael Bell 3yo by Munnings having first race appearance and has a good draw. Watch betting. YOU GOT TO MY SOUL (9) Nice effort to run into 3rd last run at Southwell and challenged by less formidable competitors. Placed at every start this campaign and carrying less weight this time. Looks to be value.

Odds of $51.00 and unimpressive effort when 8th last time at Southwell but up against a less competitive field. Running with confidence since returning from a break. Hard to see this being good enough.

Finished 8th last start in a hurdle at Cheltenham but facing weaker opposition. Will be dropping in distance. Gets some weight taken off. Respect the betting.

Fresh after a break. Flew home to win last start at Newcastle. Definitely worth considering.

Fresh today. Ran on into 4th last time at the track and was a debutant last start. Will be giving the leaders a big start. Most likely not today.

First up from a break of 26 weeks and in the money when 3rd first up last preparation at Sandown. Should be going forward early. Goes down in weight. Entitled to be big odds.

Resuming after a break. Ran on when 2nd last start at Doncaster and having second race start. Suited by the weight drop. Gets a chance against these.

3yo by Munnings having first start for Michael Bell and drawn nicely. Watch for a sign in the market.

Resuming after a break. Odds of $41.00 and below expectations when 7th last run at Newmarket but having second career run. Likely to get back in the field. Could not recommend.

Came on strongly when 3rd beaten by 6L last run at Southwell and competing in an easier class. Has run into the money at every start this preparation. Can win.
