Goodwood – day 1.
A good old fashioned tissue day.

2:10 – No strong feelings – the two who came out as slightly underrated on my tissue were Drumfire and Blythe Knight. Probably play them both each way – Blythe Kight at 40s very long..

2:45 – Not keen on Harbinger form – and priced on reputation here. Masterofthehorse also has to be a worry with that change of stable. Urban Poet could be anything but the obvious choice is Firebet, who took an age to pull up last time and should cope with step up in class and trip.4/1 Ok.

3:25 – Main Aim is mighty short this morning. Ouqba was the notebook horse, but I keep looking at Finjaan. Yes, he may not have trained on, but he has beaten Ouqba twice, and was in a muck sweat ahead of 2000 guineas and probably didn't stay, and is probably priced up on Tregoning's form (on the turn hopefully) and Hills choosing Ouqba (he's hardly got that horse right this year). 12/1 Ladbrokes will do for me.

4:00 – Monsieur Chevalier looks mighty short at odds-on, especially on this track. Maybe a simple lay.

4:35 – There is a lot of pace in this race. One for horses with a bit of luck from behind. Waldvogel, Sugar Ray and Yes Mr President (if he lets others do the work), should cover the bases!

5:10 – Impossible race. I hve Bencoolen as an eyecatcher – maybe today is the day .


Not sure re betting yet, but for get rich quick merchants how about kicking off with:
Firebet
Finjaan
Waldvogel
Bencoolen
4 x £10 trebles and £5 accumulator!

One notebook horse at Beverly
4:55 Sanctuary.
