Epsom Downs Race 4 - Betfred Apprentices' Derby Handicap
MILLER SPIRIT (1) is one of two in the race for Gary and Josh Moore and the stable have a good recent record in this event winning this in 2017 and 2019. The four-year-old ticks plenty of boxes after scoring by 0.5L in the course and distance Jump Jockeys Derby Handicap two weeks back. Remains in similar company. Top chance. THURSDAY (8) arrives in solid place form following a close second in a 2000m handicap here two weeks back. Can go close again. ORGANIC (7) enjoys soft ground and has been in consistent form this season with a narrow 1600m selling race success at Beverley preceding a Newmarket 1800m handicap second last week. Makes appeal. MARK OF GOLD (2) has the ability and holds winning flat form on heavy ground. Looks one to note.

Second run back. First-up after three months came home strongly from last on the turn; 2nd of 8 at Newmarket (Rowley) on September 21 over 1800m, 0.5 len behind Cervetto with 68kg at $13. Previously second-up ran on strongly from last on the turn and scored a big 4.5 len win at Bath June 15 over 2000m defeating Alvesta with 59.5kg at $2. Sure to be right there at the business end.
