Leicester Race 5 - High Noon Black Cherry Vodka Soda Handicap

OPTIMATUM (4) proved a good winner of a course and distance handicap by 1.5L nine days ago. Failed to place in five starts prior. May double up. CUBAN FIESTA (2) produced a neck second on latest outing at Great Yarmouth following a tenth at Redcar. Could go one better. ROSCIOLI (1) was also a runner-up last time at Bath three weeks back when 1.25L behind the winner. Possibilities. PESSOA (5) finished behind the third pick at Bath when fourth. Consistent with two wins and three placed efforts previously. Thereabouts.

Racing well recently. Most recently 4th of 11 at Bath on June 14 over 1600m, 2 len behind Union Island with 56kg at $4.50. Before that came from midfield and won by 1.3 len at Wolverhampton June 3 over 1740m defeating Snooze Lane carrying 61kg at $5.50. Expect he will make amends.
