20:50 · Leicester

Crafty Blue (IRE)

Kube - Leicester's Premier Exhibition Venue Handicap

Outcome
LAY LOST
Recommended lay
8.60
Winner
Crafty Blue
Horse result
1st of eight, won by a neck

What went wrong

Crafty Blue was slowly away and raced at the rear before making rapid progress on the near side and leading inside the final 110 yards.

What to watch

She kept on to win by a neck, and the trainer's representative said first-time cheekpieces had helped the improved performance.

What we learned / things to watch

Most of the successful lays were out of serious contention before the finish. Mint Man was the main close call, running well in third but never getting to the winner.

The three losses came from different race shapes: Ballybrittas took over late in the chase, Wetsand controlled the race from the front, and Crafty Blue improved sharply in first-time cheekpieces. Jumping, likely pace and new equipment remain useful final checks.
