Chepstow Race 1 - Sky Sports Racing Sky 415 Novice Stakes (Gbb Race)
A disappointing turnout with only four runners. MINSTER MAN (1) appears to be the one to side with. Stepped forward from debut second in a Yarmouth novice over 1000m when a 1.75L winner of Musselburgh novice tackling 1000m twenty two days ago. Sets a high form standard and finds a great opportunity to follow up. ROXA LOVE (2) is the biggest danger. Advanced on a debut third to win by 0.75L tackling 1100m in a Brighton maiden during June. Should make a bold bid coming back off a sixty eight day break. CRAZEE IN HAVANA (3) produced a 2.25L second contesting a 1000m Sandown maiden providing second start. Bit more needed on that form. Newcomer MRS BLUE (4) is the outsider of this quartet.

Lining up for just third start. At debut, 6th of 9 at Ascot on July 25 over 1200m, 8 len behind Never Enough carrying 58kg at $11. Last start rolled along in front before being edged out 2nd of 9 at Sandown Park on August 6 over 1000m, 2.25 len behind Elevating with 60.5kg at $5. Chance to topple the main selection as these small fields can throw up surprises.
