Leicester 12th June

[chris34]

5.00 Leicester Divetimenti has been running well of late and has been knocking on the door last 2 starts and gets to run off same mark today, still lightly raced on turf and better known for his AW work but showing enough to suggest he is capable of picking up another win on turf yet and is potentially well treated on last win coming off a 12lb higher mark! 0.25pt e/w divertimenti 8/1 sj 6.00 Leicester San Antonio is another that has been seen much lately, he only had 1 run on the flat last year when runner up by the smallest margin, up 2lb for that and and still well treated if returning in anywhere near that sort of form biggest problem is the drying ground he clearly wants ground with some cut in it so fingers crossed it doesnt dry too much. 0.1pt e/w San Antonio 16/1 Hills

Re: Leicester 12th June 6:30 Leicester - Amitola - 2pts @ 9/2 (Various) Hammered rivals on debut over 6f winning by 6 lengths, Went into a listed event next time out and performed respectively coming 5th of 12 and only 4.5 lengths away from the winner, Lots of room for improvement and this race looks winnable off this mark if handling the drop to 5f. Shaped as if 5f would suit last time. Half brother to the useful Damika who won a few weeks ago in a similar event to this. Very well bred and has one of my favorite sprint jockeys on board, Philip Makin. Trained by my favorite trainer also, And hopefully The Barron will have this fellow well tuned up for this after a 225 day break, It's the only horse David Barron is sending to Leicester so hopefully he sees it as an ideal chance to get a win in a decent race under his belt. He's the least exposed out of this lot, Has room for lots of potential and if handling the drop in trip I think he has a decent chance. Monsieur Joe is the main danger for me, Well drawn and was unlucky last time when becoming unbalanced coming down the hill at Newmarket but he's a bit high in the weights for me so I'll side with Amitola to beat him.
