Epsom Downs Race 5 - Betfred 'Bet Builder' Hcp (Gbbplus Race)

MATINS (1) arrives unbeaten gaining an impressive 7L success on debut in a 1600m maiden at Salisbury before winning a match race by 16L contesting a 1600m novice event at Yarmouth six weeks back. Promising raised in trip on first handicap outing. Top pick. Two-time course and distance winner CARNIVAL DAY (5) was runner-up in this event last year. Showed best form seventeen days ago scoring by a nose a lower class 2000m handicap here and ticking all the right boxes might follow up. Main danger. ECHALAR (4) found success in an easier level 2000m Doncaster handicap prior to a Yarmouth second recently. Interesting. COGITATE (3) makes the shortlist.

Yet to taste defeat in two starts. When well in the market on debut, favourite; raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by 7 len at Salisbury on July 25 over 1600m defeating Raggaas carrying 60.5kg at $2.50. Last time out favourite; won by 16 len at Great Yarmouth on August 14 over 1600m defeating Emperor Aurelius carrying 62kg. Cieren Fallon aboard again and sure to go well.

At the latest run favourite; won by a nose at this track on September 10 over 2000m defeating Beach Point with 61kg at $3.50. The run before that sat on the pace when 3rd of 8 at Sandown Park on August 28 over 2000m, 2.5 len behind Sovereign View carrying 62kg at $5.50. Confidence back and is worth following up.
