Leicester Race 7 - Leicester Races Saturday 25Th April Book Now Handicap
GAELIC APPROACH (2) Close to claiming the win last time at Wolverhampton and stepping down to a lower level. Has early speed and positions nicely. Must be considered. ENGROSS (1) Solid win by 1L last start at Chelmsford and goes down in class. Finishes off strongly. Showing improvement in recent outings. Good chance and wouldn't be surprised to see it pick up a win. EMMA'S LETTER (3) Back from a break. Didn't attack the line when 4th last run at Southwell. Should improve and up against weaker rivals. Gets a favourable draw. Going over more ground. Can win this. FIVE MOONS (4) Not up to standard when 4th last time at Wolverhampton but facing weaker opposition. Worth some thought.

Was all too good winning by 1L last start at Chelmsford and will find this grade more suitable. Always seems to find the line well. Great chance.

Was agonizingly close last time at Wolverhampton and has been racing in stronger company. Should jump out and bowl along. Tough competitor.

Fresh from a spell. Was $9.50 and weakened to finish 4th last run at Southwell. Should improve and facing a weaker grade. Racing over a longer distance. Major player who should go very close.

At $9.00 not competitive when 4th last time at Wolverhampton but matched against a less competitive field. Needs significant improvement.

Started at $15.00 and clearly outclassed when 6th last start at Wolverhampton but matched against less formidable competition. Won't be far away during the run. Could not recommend.
