Event	Leicester 2:00

Reasoning	One of two entries from trainer Mahmood Al Zarooni. The selection is booked with stable jockey Ahmed Atjebi while the other is with Silvestre De Sousa. Both should run well but the selection is likley to do better today. Atjebi have not had a ride since August 17th and this is his only ride of the day. My guess is he's been working with this at home. The selection is bred very well being sired Street Cry via Darley. He is half-brother to St Leger/Italian Derby winner Mastery and the very smart 7f (at 2) to 1m4f winner Kirklees - both bred by Darley. Mastery was a winner on debut while Kirkless finished 2nd by head.

Reasoning	Drop back to 7f after five runs at 1m was a good move because it resulted in a win by 2 1/2 lengths. That was at Chepstow and was a stiff test just like this track today. No worries with the change in racetrack. The selection is a proven winner at this course and distance. His last run here was in July and it was his last run at 7f until last time out. He finished 2nd to the favorite Tevez. That was his only run at the track this year. He raced here three times last year for a 3rd of 9 (6f), 1st of 9 (5f), and 1st of 13 (7f).

Reasoning	Three from three at the course. All runs had been this year and won by 2, 2 and 3 1/4 lengths each run. Should go well once more. Raced three other times this year but was not as good. 2nd, 11th, and 7th. Perhaps the going is somewhat to blame in those defeates with the ground at Standard, Good, and Good to Soft. Her wins at the track was on Good, Good to Firm, and Good to Firm. The going is to be Good to Firm today. Jockey Silvestre De Sousa is booked today and he rode in the first two course wins of the selection.
