Epsom Downs Race 2

Sporting Times Sri Lanka Ebf Restricted Novice Stakes (Gbb Race)

Stake: $19,926

NORFOLK BLUE (3) went well delivering second outing when 1.75L runner-up contesting a 1400m novice event on turf at Lingfield. Rates highly. HENGROIN (1) showed plenty of promise two starts ago finishing 3.25L second in a 1200m novice event at Windsor prior to a maiden seventh over 1400m at Newmarket. Open to further progress. PAROLE OFFICER (5) improved last month managing a 3L second tackling a 1400m novice race at Chelmsford City AW. Interesting. CHAMPAGNE DREAM (4) might feature on debut.

Lining up for just third start. At very long odds at debut, 8th of 13 at Windsor on June 2 over 1200m, 9 len behind American Gulf with 60.5kg at $51. Last start 2nd of 8 at Lingfield on July 8 over 1400m, 1.75 len behind Command The Stars with 57.5kg at $12. Shapes as one of the top chances.
