Epsom Downs Race 6 - Betfred Play Fred's 5 Million Pound Hcp
SAIL ON SAILOR (2) has improved with each start this season and completed back-to-back 1600m wins at Lingfield latest. Climb in weights looks manageable and sets the standard. Holds leading claims. TAKEITORLEAVEIT (6) arrives after consecutive seconds including when runner-up tackling 1600m at Windsor. Represents the main danger. SWEEP IN TIME (5) makes her handicap debut after three qualifying runs and remains open to improvement. Makes some appeal. MINERALITY (4) also enters handicaps for the first time and should find this company more suitable. Not entirely discounted now in something easier.

Second-up. First-up after six months 4th of 7 at Goodwood on June 5 over 1600m, 6 len behind Matilda Joslyngage carrying 58kg at $101. Previously second-up 5th of 8 at Lingfield All Weather on December 17 over 1600m, 6 len behind Roserunner carrying 58kg at $34. Rates highly and can do much better this time.

Resuming after a six months break. Finished off last campaign fifth of 10 at Lingfield All Weather December 31 over 1400m, 5.5 len behind Marseillan carrying 57kg at $10. On debut fifth of 13 at Kempton Park All Weather October 13 over 1600m, 8 len behind Lizzana with 57kg at $126. Could prove too smart for these.

Form hard to fault. At the latest run 2nd of 10 at Windsor on June 22 over 1600m, 5.5 len behind Mertoun carrying 60.5kg at $5. The race before that sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 7 at Lingfield on June 6 over 1800m, on a slow track; 1.5 len behind Fans Favourite with 52.5kg at $5.50. Everything points towards a big run.
