Racing - 24th May

Still struggling to find much action this week.

Goodwood 2:35
Eastern Anthem 1/2
Halicarnassus 4/1

Eastern Anthem ran Ok first time out. It's remarkable given the stable jockey that you would have made a considerable profit over the years backing Godolphin horses blind, and I've never been keen to oppose them. Particuarly not at their favourite track, up against a Channon horse carrying a penalty. We'll have to wait on the market to see whether he's a backable proposition.


Goodwood 3:10
Sudoor 9/4
Bicoastal 9/4
Cosmodrome 10/1
So Sweet 10/1
Les fazzani 16/1
Lost In Wonder 16/1

Bicoastal looks opposable at the price - despite his classic race form. The distance in particular is a worry for one so short. Finding something to beat her isn't straightforward though - not least given Sudoor's penalty. There may be each way options given the dead eight - my eye keeps getting drawn to Les Fazzani who could improve for this step up in trip and Cosmodrome who could possibly find the stones he needs to. Watching brief.

I may have to widen my scope to get some turnover going and play Bangor (can't remember doing that before!) and some of the trappy races at Goodwood - Cabinet looks a legitimate fave in the first. This usually proves a big mistake though, so I may settle for the golf and the alpine stage of the Giro D'Italia!
