Goodwood 2.00: GLEE
It is the only one rated, and got brushed aside rather easily at Windsor. Probably not one of the Hannon team's class acts? In fact the only thing going for it is its experience. One of the newcomers will surely prove too much for her?
Goodwood 2.35: KALAHAAG
I have this just top-rated on its run behind Khor Sheed, which I think is better than anything these have shown to date? They look like Class 4 runners who will no doubt win their share of races. The selection has at least had a go in better company, and this is a drop down of two grades from his opener. Similar pattern to last year when he ran okay first time out then came on to win here. The extra 2f could well bring out more improvement so could run above what the opening odds may suggest?
Goodwood 3.10: POPLIN
I do not think there is another Snow Fairy lurking here? Rating comes from her run behind Art History, but was beaten a fair way and this is a big step up in class. The top-weight BEATRICE AURORE is a good solid yardstick, while DATE WITH DESTINY represents the Zain Al Boldan form and they are the next two rated. So it is a race that could throw up some interest in the Oaks?
Goodwood 3.45: SABORIDO
Top-rated but no great confidence in the ever changing fortunes of stayers this early in the season.
Goodwood 4.20: AULD BURNS and PICTURE EDITOR jointly
Slightly different prospects here. The former comes here after a good win and place, the latter after being 'Frankel-ed' at Newbury. Throw in BADEEL, for whom there seems to be some money for, but only won an okay Class 4 maiden at Nottingham, it becomes a puzzle. Probably comes down to who will be suited by the extra distance? A race to watch and learn methinks.
Goodwood 4.55: MISREPRESENT
Clear on ratings, but half of this big field have no rating, so is poor value as a short price favourite?
Goodwood 5.30: I am sorry I cannot supply a worthwhile rating here ...use a pin!
Have a good day.
