Leicester Race 3 - Mir Patel Loses His Freedom Nursery
BRIGHTLING (4) is starting to race consistently with two wins past three outings including a 2.25L victory at Lingfield Park eight days ago. Carries a penalty for that success which can be overcome. DINAMO (5) won a Thirsk handicap by a short-head. Useful claimer negates weight-rise. Dangerous. SPIRIT STAR (7) brings plenty of racecourse experience. Finished third behind the top pick at Lingfield Park previously and can reverse placings. BEACH PARTEE (3) recorded a career best when third at York most recently. Might place again.

Form hard to fault. At the latest run raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by a nose at Thirsk July 15 over 1000m defeating Calafiori carrying 54.5kg at $19. Before that 4th of 8 at Catterick on July 9 over 1000m, 5.5 len behind Oasis Diamond carrying 58kg at $6. Found winning form and can go on with it.

Most recently got back early 3rd in a small field at Lingfield on July 22 over 1000m, 2.25 len behind Brightling carrying 58.5kg at $3.10. The run before that eased back early on in a small field at Great Yarmouth on July 9 over 1040m, 2.25 len behind Rajak with 56kg at $4. Should run well.
