Epsom Downs Race 5 - Betfred 'Nifty 50' Handicap
TIMBER TWELVE (1) bids for a hat-trick in as many career starts after winning on debut at Kempton Park AW by 3.75L before replicating with a 1.75L success at Southwell AW. Leading contender. MONTAGUE MENACE (2) shed the maiden tag providing first appearance this year securing a 2.25L triumph contesting a 1400m Lingfield Park AW maiden a month ago. Can gain a double following that initial win. ON MESSAGE (3) made it third time lucky producing a first career triumph securing a 2L victory at Wolverhampton. Makes seasonal reappearance. Expected to challenge. TERRANOBLE (6) maintains some attraction from bottom of the weights.

Second-up. Strong on debut as favourite; won by 4 len at Kempton Park All Weather September 5 over 1600m defeating Abundant with 59.5kg at $29. Went for a spell before returning favourite; won by 1.75 len at Southwell All Weather March 21 over 1600m defeating Clatford carrying 59kg at $1.60. Hard to fault on current form. Hard to beat again with Hector Crouch sticking.

Second-up. First-up after five months ran last of 9 at Southwell All Weather on March 28 over 1400m, 22 len behind Tamashal carrying 59.5kg at $12. Previously second-up 3rd of 11 at Chepstow on June 23 over 1200m, 1.3 len behind Amazing Journey with 58kg at $5. No easier this time and is likely to struggle.
