Leicester Race 5 - Madri Excepcional Maiden Stakes (GBB/GBBPlus Race)
HEYZOOM (3) Fresh after a break. Made considerable ground when 3rd beaten by 2L last time at Wolverhampton and was on debut last time. Gets a reduction in weight. Can have an impact. ACT OF GENEROSITY (1) Career debut 3yo by Sea The Stars for trainer Roger Varian and has minimal work to do from the draw. Watch betting. SUPERIOR CHOICE (5) Back from a break of 26 weeks. Pushed past some when 4th last time at Newmarket and having second career run. Carrying less weight this time. Could give a show. KING OF THEBES (4) Tidy run when 3rd last start at Southwell and was a debutant last start. Winkers on could be an important change and drawn nicely. Keep in mind.

First up after a break. Odds of $21.00 and performed below standard when 10th last time at Chelmsford but was a debutant last start. Slim hope.

Resuming. Good effort to place 3rd beaten by 2L last time at Wolverhampton and was on debut last time. Will appreciate the drop in weight. Should go very close.

Was competitive when 3rd last start at Southwell and having second career run. Trainer has gone for the winkers on, take note. Rises in weight. One for the value hunters.

First up from a spell of 26 weeks. Started at $4.00 and inched into 4th last time at Newmarket and fitter for debut run. Will benefit with the weight drop. Solid prospects.
