Epsom Downs Race 1 - Betfred 'The Classic Bookmaker' Ebf Mdn Stakes (Gbb Race)
ZARAKOVA (5) wasn't without support debuting at Wolverhampton in May contesting a 1400m event. Weakened out of things after leading early finishing sixth on that occasion and able to learn plenty from that experience is expected to take beating. AD LIB (1) makes debut. This home-bred in the Newsells Park Stud colours represents a top stable and no surprise if he is good enough on first attempt. PALACE LEGACY (3) hails from a yard who who can ready a winner on debut and is related to several with success. Market to guide. THE BALEARIC SUN (4) looked in need of the outing at Sandown Park and now wears a tongue strap. Best watched.
