Ed Nicholson takes a closer look at the BAGS action at Nottingham tonight......

"strong>Go Far Mickey was contesting A4's and A5's at Sheffield - and he finds himself in an A4 tonight. Housed in trap five he will be a couple of lengths down at the turn, but that is actually good news, as the early pace in front of him will mean that traps 3,4, and 6 will all set the race up for this strong galloping sort. He has been running on over this trip - as he did at Sheffield, and provided he can go around the first couple of bends unscathed, he can pick the early paced greyhounds in the home staright. I find it diffciult to see him coming outiside the first two here and he rates a good bet at anything over [4.0] with a forecast bet for him to come second to the field as a saver."

Go Far Mickey is a dog I have been following for sometime now. He raced at Sheffield - but although their race distance is 500 metres too - I always thought he'd be better suited to the longer straights at Nottingham.

So it was no surprise to me that he has switched tracks and is now plying his trade at Colwick Park. He has run just seven times at Nottingham without success, but now I feel he is ready to strike - in tonight's 8.37pm.

The meeting kicks off at 6.28pm where Fabulous Wish in trap one looks worth a bet. This one has won just one of his ten track starts, but he has one of the fastest recent times in 31.06 seconds and looks likley to turn the corner in behind traps two and three. But Fabulous Wish has good late pace and he is expected to stay on strongly past traps two and three close home. Take anything better than [3.0].
