Leicester Race 1 - British Ebf Novice Stakes (Gbb Race)
STAR VELOCITY (1) finds a gilt-edged opportunity to back up his victory at Ffos Las (1000m) eight days ago. Did it nicely by 1L and should have little trouble with these rivals if able to replicate that performance. The main threat looks to be COURT ALERT (2) who is now a little exposed after seven runs without success. Put up a fair performance when a 2.25L third in first-time blinkers (retained) at Nottingham latest. Could challenge. EL GHUWAH (3) raced greenly when finishing fifth in that same contest. Entitled to improvement. RED LEGS (4) has a mountain to climb on the evidence of his first two attempts at 1200m.

Lining up for just third start. At big odds at debut, 3rd of 11 at Southwell All Weather on June 18 over 1200m, 2.5 len behind Town Queen with 58kg at $29. Second-up favourite; won by 1.0 len at Ffos Las July 14 over 1000m defeating Queen Sana with 58kg at $1.80. Going well. Should stay out of trouble in the small field and is the testing material.

Third race start today. At big odds at debut, 8th of 10 at Windsor on June 1 over 1200m, 15 len behind Gold Digger carrying 58kg at $41. Second-up ran second last of 8 at Great Yarmouth on June 11 over 1200m, on a slow track; 9 len behind Anyasi with 58kg at $151. More than happy to risk at this stage.
