Manara shines at Nottingham 16:02 - Race 4 Dine In Sherwoods Restaurant Fillies' Handicap tips, betting and prediction

Welcome to beautiful Nottingham folks, where the going is 'Good to firm-good in places' for a promising showdown in the 'Race 4 Dine In Sherwoods Restaurant Fillies' Handicap' over 1m 2f 50y, kicking off at a lovely 16:02. Let's get down to the hopefuls! Leading our parade is 'Manara', a 3-year-old filly trained by K P De Foy. With David Egan in the saddle today, she enters with a live price of a moderate 3.75. Although Manara's recent form doesn't pop out (1 place in the last 180 days from 3 runs), she's had 3 wins out of 8 in her longer-term record, which isn't half-bad for a young filly. Keep an eye on her trainer's current form too, boasting a 26% strike rate over the past month. But let's not forget, this isn't a walk in the park with no wins at this course or this distance previously, lending a bit of uncertainty to her prospects today. Next up, 'Ciara Pearl', the 5-year-old mare from the D & C Kubler yard with Jim Crowley holding the reins. Listed at 5.5, she offers some value for today's race. However, her recent outings leave a bit to be desired with no wins recently but a slightly better long-term view showing 6 out of 18 wins. Trainer and jockey stats are not particularly glittering but decent, with Crowley knocking out 13 wins from 60 rides recently. Rounding up our trio is 'Castro Aurum', a spritely 3-year-old with Ray Dawson teamed up with Darryll Holland. Priced at a longer 10, she's the wildcard entry. But don't write her off just yet; she’s won recently within the last 30 days, making her 1 for 1 in the short-term. Although she's quite untested at this course and distance, with only a 20% overall strike rate from a 5 race career, she might surprise us. For those looking for a cheeky flutter, 'North Star' at 2.63 is worth a nod, showing some somewhat promising albeit sparse data snippets. But the spotlight today is on 'Manara', our model's favourite to win. With that said, best of luck choosing your favourites, and remember to gamble responsibly!
