It better not rain today….
1.55 Goodwood - The return of Encke. Would be some training
performance but we know does run well here. Songcraft runs well fresh but not
convince about his performances at Goodwood. Quest for Peace was solid when
winning this race two years ago but looks to have regressed now. That leaves Pethers Moon 7/4 who has rock solid
form, noteably behind Cavalryman. Hughes can kick off Day3 in better fashion
for his shot at the title with a solid C&D winner
2.30 Goodwood – I’m not fully convinced by the 1000k so
cross of Lightning Thunder. Windfast has run well, What About Carlo is solid on
fast ground and a C&D winner, Rapproachment could be anything and recorded
a 96 RPR on debut which is phenomenal. Hors De Combat won a decent race at
Ascot but has a lot to find with Bow Creek now who must have a decent chance.
Wannabe Yours could be very good too, but I really think Hughes could double up
with Shifting Power 15/8. This is a
big step down in class and is definitely a Group horse already and it’ll take
something decent to improve passed SP. I just hope Hughes has recaptured his
form!
3.05 Goodwood – Not much luck for me in the big handicaps so
far minus the blind MJ backing. Ignore Pastoral
Player’s 25/1 last run as ground was not right. In previous race was a best
of those drawn badly, which means he is back to his best. He is a G3 winner and
has run very well at Goodwood before. Morrison is in decent nick and this claimer
Charlie Bennett is decent and is one to keep an eye on. From a low draw must
have a really good chance. Magic City 14/1
was well backed last time and after an unlucky race did very well to finish
second and well clear of rest of field. He loves big handicaps here at Goodwood
and Hughes has a really good chance to bring up a treble in the first 3 races.
I know I said I’d back Horsted Keynes till he won again, but was so poor on
Saturday.
3.40 Goodwood – Fast ground rules out Tropics for me.
Kingsgate might struggle to turn tables on Extortionist. I watched Moviesta 7/1 win this last year on
course and although was not blown away he is decent on quick ground. Ladies Are
Forever could get close but has work to do based on last years race. Stepper Point 12/1 a solid C&D
winner looks a danger
4.15 Goodwood – Looks like I’m relying on H/H combo again. Sunset Sail 9/2 looks ahead of mark and
can make all today. Son of Africa 12/1
is interesting based on debut.
4.50 Goodwood – Now I’m pushing my luck, but if Manderley 9/1 reproduces her Guineas
effort has a huge chance and can bring up the H/H quad? Surely not!. The Gold C
16/1 and J Wonder 8/1 are on my list too and will probably have a nibble, but
MJ has said Muteela 5/2 is his best
chance of the week.
5.25 Goodwood – Just for consistency another H/H; Cameo Tiara 9/1. Close enough behind
Arabian Comet who nearly beat Misunited yesterday suggests CT is ahead of mark.
