Leicester Race 1 - Heather Small Live At Leicesterraces Saturday 4th July Apprentice Hcp
CAPTAIN CAIRNEY (1) First up after a 28 week break. Didn't find the line when 6th last start at Wolverhampton. Looking for an improved run and facing a weaker grade. Major chance. BRADBURY (6) Just missed last start at Beverley. One of the top hopes. TOO DARN SPICY (5) Finished 5th last time at Carlisle but matched against a less competitive field. First race for a new trainer. One of the hopes. HEART SIGN (2) Average performance when 6th last time at Yarmouth but up against a less challenging field. Can find a nice position from the draw. Market watch advised and can run into the money.

Back from a 28 week break. At $4.33 didn't threaten when 6th last start at Wolverhampton. Looking for an improved run and competing in a lower grade. Should give plenty of sight.

Odds of $17.00 and disappointing effort when 6th last time at Yarmouth but competing at a lower level of competition. Has a positive stall. Do not dismiss.

Below par when 6th last time at Nottingham but competing in an easier class. Has plenty of early speed. Olivia Haines is a strong choice aboard. Up in weight. Not dismissing.

At $101.00 disappointing display when 7th last start at Kempton but taking on easier opposition. Expected to settle towards the rear. Racing over a longer distance. Will need to elevate.

Finished 5th last time at Carlisle but competing in a less challenging grade. Change in trainer. Could go close.
