Nottingham Racecourse
Our friends at Tipstrr have run their numbers over the penultimate race at Nottingham on Thursday to narrow down the 11-runner field to their most popular pick in this intriguing 10-furlong test.

At the time of writing, Star Start and Mascani are jostling for the favourite tag as the only horses in the line-up to have visited the winner's circle this term.
Start Start has backed up his victory at Carlisle in June with three runner-up spots, while Mascani has progressed through some promising early-season outings to land an eight-runner handicap at Beverley a month ago.
Both merit consideration, of course, but support in the Tipstrr community is leaning more heavily towards Sir Michael Stoute's
Zaakara
, who is looking to break her duck after coming third in each of her three outings so far this season.

This promising filly was visored for the first time when finishing behind Measured Moments at Leicester three weeks ago, and this time blinkers are tried in a bid to get her nose in front.
Sir Michael boasts an impressive 22% win rate at this venue, while returning jockey Richard Kingscote also knows his way round the Nottingham track, piloting almost half of his 131 rides here into a frame finish.
Suggested bet:
Zaakara in the 16:10 at Nottingham
