Nottingham Race 1 - Ebf Slip Anchor Mdn Stakes (Gbb Race)
VIKING BARBIE (5) Picked up some late ground when 5th last start at Southwell and has a nice advantage with a good draw. Suited. LADY BRANKSOME (3) Resuming after a break. Couldn't maintain the pace when 6th last time at Chester. Looking for an improved run. Shows good early pace. Good chance and wouldn't be surprised to see it pick up a win. CAELUM (1) Ran a solid race on the speed before weakening to finish 2nd last time at Newcastle and having second race start. Has plenty of early speed. No shock to see a win. CRIMSON BLAZE (2) Put together a strong on-speed performance when 3rd beaten by 2 3/4L last run at Bath and showing improvement in recent outings. William T Buick is a bonus. Place chance.

Despite being out sprinted still placed 3rd beaten by 2 3/4L last run at Bath and on an upward trajectory in recent races. Difficult to warm to at present.

Resuming after a spell. At $3.75 lost ground in the run home when 6th last time at Chester. Looking for an improved run. Worth a lot of thought in this race.

Started at $67.00 and faded away to finish 8th last start at Beverley but fitter for debut run. Might have to make up considerable ground. Tough ask.

Odds of $7.00 and improved when 5th last start at Southwell and drawn the rails. Definite claims for punters.
