Bets 31/07/2017 - Glorious Goodwood Day 1

As ever no idea what carnage the weather will cause. RP says GS and risks of hingavy downpours...will they, won't they, no idea.....

1.50 Goodwood - No MJ horses to worry about. RESULT; just 18 to choose from then. Baydar has slipped to an interesting mark here but fully out of sorts. Khairaat bolted up at Chester and flopped next time but suggest hike was enough for effort that maybe flattered him and Brorocco has not franked the form on several attempts. I think the JS handicap is the best form here and the two that were staying on strongly at the finish were Garcia and Eddystone Rock. Garcia is definitely progressive and Garrity knowing couldnt win last time didn't cake Garcia too hard. With Moore booked this has to be a decent bet. Goodwood is such a merkage place and I'm in such dire form will go e/w 5 places. Eddystone not progressive and did look unluckly and whilst when got going didn't really make much of an impression I'd kick myself for underestimate the hammerage so small ew. I thought very hard about Oasis Fantasy as on a lower mark than when 2nd last year but doesn't look like fancies it much at the moment.

Garcia 5/1 2.5pts ew 5places
Eddystone Rock 16/1 1pt ew 4places


3.00 Goodwood - Basically betting against the weather. I heart Limato but not on ground with soft in in. I kind of hope it rains as am taking Limato on on this basis. Sprit of Valor was expected to win last time with all the weight allowance and at the weigths is best off today. Home of the Brave is unbeaten in 2 starts this season and actually beat Jungle Cat easier than on paper; Doyle was casually looking around and was in full control. 2nd in this race last year and with the low draw can control from the front. SoV has had a long season and whilst has ever chance favour Home of the Brave

Home of The Brave 8/1 2pts ew

3.35 Goodwood - Am taking on Big Orange on ground basis only. Again gambling against the weather. I'm just not sure who else to back. Down to Stradivairs, US Army, Wicklow Brave and Sheikzroad.  Urgh. Wicklow Brave has beat Order o St George and was 4th in this last year. Sheikroad has beaten Big Orange couple times this year on slower ground and 3rd in this last year.

Sheikzayedroad 12/1 1pt ew
Wicklow Brave 16/1 1pt ew

4.45 Goodwood - Confessional solid CD winner in good form as is Vibrant Chords

Confessional 16/1 1pt ew
Vibrant Chords 5/1 2pts ew



Accs
Home of Brave 8/1/Garcia 5/1 1pt ew Double
Stradivarius 9/1/Secret Advisor 5/1 tomorrow 2.25 1pt ew double incase form stacks up

  1. Some Interesting selections. I was expecting to see MJ's for the 2.25 race, are you steering clear of that one? You have backed me up with oasis f and sheik so I'm good to go on these! Best of luck!

    1. Standard. Stradivarius will have to do for today as long as Secret Advisor brings home the 60/1 double. Fingers crossed
