Leicester Race 1 - Heather Small Live At Leicesterraces Saturday 4th July Apprentice Hcp
BRADBURY (6) is edging closer to a maiden win after back-to-back placings including most recently second tackling 2000m at Beverley beaten a head. Going well enough to test this field. CAPTAIN CAIRNEY (1) resumes after finishing sixth attempting 1900m at Wolverhampton in November and has the profile to play a major role fresh. Represents the main danger. SAHM NAIF (4) was safely held on return contesting 1400m at Kempton Park All Weather. Could improve plenty for the outing. Makes appeal. HEART SIGN (2) was well held at Great Yarmouth last time. Finds a suitable race and might do better. Not discounted.

Comes here off a 39-day let-up. Most recently second last of 7 at Great Yarmouth on April 30 over 2000m, 14 len behind Alice De Clare carrying 61kg at $17. Before that came home strongly from last on the turn; 4th of 7 at Lingfield All Weather on April 14 over 2000m, 5 len behind Lady Milton carrying 61kg at $6.50. Will be harder to beat this time.

Second run back. First-up after nine months 7th of 10 at Kempton Park All Weather on May 27 over 1400m, 11 len behind Erudition carrying 58.5kg at $101. Previously second-up 8th of 11 at Kempton Park All Weather on August 27 over 1600m, 11 len behind Gavriel carrying 60.5kg at $201. Expecting him to kick on with that first run out of the way.
