Leicester Race 5 - Evening Racing At Leicesterraces Wednesday 22nd July Hcp
LOPE Y LINDA (2) has been busy this season and in good condition producing another bold show at Ayr two weeks ago beaten just 1.75L in a similar event. Stable providing winners during recent weeks and she cannot be ruled out. MUSICAL SOLDIER (1) returned to form when runner up at Chepstow last week. If in the same condition will have a big chance of gaining a second career triumph. AUSPICIOUS (3) disappointed back at Redcar last time having been in good form throughout the spring. Up in trip and deserves a market check. POETIC GRACE (6) remains a maiden after seven attempts. Needs a personal best for win purposes.
