Leicester Race 3 - Leicester Racecourse Ideal Self-Hire Wedding Venue Novice Stakes (Gbb Race)
MOVING SHADOW (1) First up after 38 weeks and ran on hard when winning first up last preparation around here. Should muster plenty of early speed. Drawn nicely. Good enough for this and worth a bet . SIWA OASIS (3) Didn't find the line when 4th last run at the track. Expected to rebound but coming back in distance. Has good finishing speed. Main hope. YORDAN (4) 3yo by Star Man on debut for trainer Kevin A Ryan and drawn beautifully. Watch betting. WINSTON'S OATH (2) Well beaten when 7th last run in a hurdle at Stratford but has been racing in stronger company. First start for a new trainer. Place looks best.

First up after 38 weeks and flew home to win first up last preparation at this venue. Should muster plenty of early toe. No surprise to see solid support in the betting.

Started at $26.00 and fairly underwhelming when 7th last run in a hurdle at Stratford but will find this grade easier. Will be positive in the run early. Difficult to warm to at present.

Started at $2.62 and looked outclassed when 4th last run at the track. Expected to rebound but dropping back to a shorter trip. Possesses very good finishing speed. Strong chance today.

3yo first starter by Star Man for Kevin A Ryan and will be aiming for a soft run from the draw. Watch the market.
