Epsom Downs Race 1

Glass Times Ebf Novice Stakes (Gbb Race)

Prize Money: $23,985

LOUIS THE FIFTH (5) can put experience to good use against less seasoned rivals. Built on debut third with a 4L second in 1200m Ffos Las maiden in July. Not seen since a 4L fourth in 1200m Newmarket a fortnight later. Comes back off a break and has been found a great opportunity. Should also benefit from longer distance. QUITE CHEEKY (8) is the pick of the newcomers. Teofilo colt related to two black type performers. Should be primed for debut. DESERT SYMPHONY (9) made progress on first two starts when 1L second over course and distance last time in a novice. Top player on that form. ASTABUEN (1) is another to note after a 3.75L third in Newmarket novice last month.

Was at long odds at debut, came from midfield; 3rd of 12 at Kempton Park All Weather on August 19 over 1400m, 8 len behind Sonic Angel carrying 59kg at $41. Shaping up well and worth following up.

Form hard to fault. Comes off a 41 day let-up. Most recently 4th of 7 at Newmarket (July) on July 31 over 1200m, 4 len behind Sexy Chick with 60.5kg at $6. The start before that 2nd in a small field at Ffos Las on July 14 over 1200m, 4 len behind Jaan Ki Tukri carrying 60.5kg at $5.50. Great chance to break through.

Was well-supported at debut, ran last of 8 at Kempton Park All Weather on August 5 over 1400m, 6 len behind Clive The Writer carrying 60.5kg at $3.50. Can do better. Can improve with that run under his belt.

Second-up 8th of 10 at Great Yarmouth on August 30 over 1400m, on a slow track; 8 len behind Capitano Josepi carrying 60.5kg at $41. Looking to others for the winner.

Last start 2nd in a small field at this track on August 14 over 1400m, 1.0 len behind Tansy Lane with 58kg at $26. Before that sat behind the speed prior to fading to run last of 9 at Sandown Park on July 23 over 1400m, 10 len behind Zero Error with 58kg at $101. Progressing well. Heading the right way and gets her chance to get off the mark.
