A really excellent weeks racing ahead as the Goodwood meeting gets under way today. The going is Good,Good to Firm in places. I hope it hasn't been over watered to accommodate Kingman tomorrow.
It really ought to be Good to Firm period to start with.
Race 1
A rattling good handicap to kick things off but not an easy one to sort out. No strong opinions here and watching not playing.
Race 2
Group 3 dash for 2-y-olds. Cotai Glory ran well behind a very smart one last time and drops back to 5 furlongs here.He's a bit hard to evaluate accurately but he's a fair price against the odds on Beacon. Beacon represents the Hannon team and they are so strong in the 2-y-old races. Mukmal looks the other hope.Passing here
Race 3
Toormore was the top rated juvenile last season but he's failed at G1 level in both the Guineas and the St. James Palace so he does have some questions to answer here. Garswood won this last year and this his the right level for him. I think Toormore is far the most likely but I wouldn't want to back him at around the current 2.20
Race 4
Good stayers handicap but without a lot of obvious pace so I'm happy to be with Dashing Star he will be up front and will be well suited to a return to this trip. Havana Cooler is ahead of him in the market and I respect him but I don't see why he's favourite ahead of Dashing Star who ought to be.
Big Thunder is weak in betting but would be a live chance if back to his best.Quite keen here.
Advised Bet: Dashing Star 0.90 units at 5.70 or better-7.50 on offer is good value if you can get it
Race 5 is an interesting C2 maiden and races 6 and 7 are both impossible complex C3 handicaps that I no strong opinions about at this stage.
