It is always hard to find winners at Goodwood but we did Ok today thanks to Namibian (7/1) and Strong Suit (5/2). With Modun only beaten a neck I was fairly satisfied with day 1 at Glorious Goodwood.
The highlight tomorrow is the eagerly awaited clash between Frankel and Canford Cliffs. At the current odds I would go with Canford Cliffs whose has both the tactical speed and finishing kick needed in this sort of small field race.
Sadler’s Risk was 3rd at Chester in a race that has worked out really well. The stable had a winner today and the horse seems to have plenty going for him in the 3.45. Recent Salisbury winner Whiplash Willie is the other one I like.
In the 4.20 I fancy an outsider, Ice Missile who showed some encouraging signs on his debut and is well bred.
Away from Goodwood my best bet is in the 8.35 at Sandown with Mungo Park.
My thanks to the artist Sue Malkin for today’s picture.
