Hamilton, Leicester and Tipperary this evening

There are some small fields this evening and only 4 line up for Hamilton´s mile race for fillies at 21.00, a very disappointing turnout for the money. Just Lille (Amm Duffield/ Paul Mulrennan) won this 2 years ago, but the 3yo´s Silver Games (Mick Channon/ Catherine Gannon) and Feeling Fab (Mark Johnston/ Jo Fanning) could be stronger now. Mark Johnston is always a big supporter of this track and can in any cas win th maidn race half an hour latr with Hajar (Fanning). There are also only 4 runners in Leicester´s main event, a 3yo handicap over 10 furlongs at 21.10. Mark Johnston can be on the mark here as well with top-weight Matraash (Richard Hills), who has bottom-weight Cosimo (Stoute/ Spencer) to beat. At Tipperary as well there are 4 runners in the main feature, a 5 furlongs race for 3yo´s at 19.50. Rain Delayed (Ger Lyons/ Johnny Murtagh) was third in a listed race at Sandown last time, and that form stands out in this company.
