Leicester Race 2

Dark Horse Cabernet Sauvignon Ebf Novice Stakes (Gbb Race)

Stake: $15,941

NARDRA (1) won on debut by 8.5L at Haydock Park last season. Disappointed when up in grade finishing fifth attempting the G3 Nell Gwyn Stakes at Newmarket (Rowley). Drops in standard and rates a leading contender. STROBELIGHT (6) is the pick of those debuting. Bred by Earthlight out of Soprana and worth considering. LOVE YOU MORE (7) finished fifth delivering most recent appearance at Wolverhampton during January. Might provide better after a break. MARQUIS POMPEO (5) is given another chance having finished last of eleven nine days ago at Newcastle AW.

Back from a spell. Only had one start last campaign 5th of 10 at Newmarket (Rowley) in the G3 Nell Gwyn Stakes on April 15 over 1400m, 4.5 len behind Zanzoun carrying 58kg at $3.80. Won previous preparation first up ran on strongly from last on the turn and won by 8 len at Haydock Park September 27 over 1200m in soft going defeating Sweet Fantastic carrying 58kg at $2.20. Looks very hard to beat.

Third race start. First start 3rd in a small field at Lingfield All Weather on February 16 over 1400m, 11 len behind Winnebago carrying 59kg at $5. Returned from break 10th of 16 at Doncaster on June 7 over 1400m, 15 len behind Remmooz with 59kg at $51. Fitter but others are better placed.

Resuming after a five months break. Finished off last preparation fifth of 8 at Wolverhampton January 27 over 1400m, 7 len behind Dance In The Storm with 56kg at $21. On debut sixth of 12 at Wolverhampton December 27 over 1400m, 6 len behind Enacting with 58kg at $23. Likely improver who can start this prep in a strong way.
