Leicester Race 2

British Ebf 'Confined' Expotile Novice Stakes (Div 1)

Prize Money: $23,985

IWASJUSTSAYING (1) made a winning debut over 1400m at Doncaster overcoming a slow start before leading inside the final 200m and scoring by 2L. That accomplished introduction sets the standard. ASTABUEN (3) finished 3.75L third across 1400m at Newmarket on his first appearance when staying on strongly and missing second by a nose. Main danger with improvement likely. TALAMON (8) was third beaten 5.75L at Chepstow tackling 1400m after making modest late headway from the rear. Further progress would put him in contention. INKJET (5) debuts for William Haggas and is a Blue Point half-brother to Listed winner Forever In Dreams from the family of champion sprinter Marchand d'Or. Makes appeal.

Lining up for just third start. At big odds at debut, 9th of 12 at Newbury on July 17 over 1400m, 10 len behind Fuel The Jet with 59kg at $34. Second-up 5th of 7 at Ffos Las on August 4 over 1500m, 6 len behind Perfect Nation carrying 59kg at $19. More improvement needed to be competitive.

At debut, 3rd in a small field at Chepstow on August 18 over 1400m, 6 len behind Avionics carrying 60.5kg at $12. Shows ability and expected to improve. Will derive great benefit from that outing and looks a great chance to break through.
