7f Saint Clair Oak Tree Stakes (Group 3) (Fillies & Mares) (Class 1) (3yo+) This has to be a betting race as I can’t have One Master drawn one on what may be very fast ground over a turning seven furlongs that will undoubtedly produce hard luck stories. She’s a very short price…
1pt win Gussy Mac @14/1, 14:15 Goodwood, Thursday
6f Qatar Richmond Stakes (Group 2) (Colts & Geldings) (Class 1) (2yo) We’re looking for a hat-trick in this race having tipped Golden Horde and Land Force to win the last two renewals. Yazaman is the right favourite but races on the fastest ground he’s experienced, and I’m taking him on with GUSSY…
1pt win Mogul @11/2, 14:45 Goodwood, Thursday
1m4f (1m3f218y) John Pearce Racing Gordon Stakes (Group 3) (Class 1) (3yo) This looks a trappy race. The Goodwood factor alone gives them all a chance so I wouldn’t be in a hurry to back English King at skinny odds, for all he is the right favourite. I backed MOGUL in the Derby and…
1pt win Zabeel Champion @5/1, 13:45 Goodwood, Thursday
Mark Johnston has won this three-year-old handicap three times over the last seven years with Communique winning it for him back in 2018 off a mark of 97. To win at Glorious Goodwood requires a horse with a good constitution and plenty of toughness. ZABEEL CHAMPION has shown this in…
1pt each-way Smart Champion @10/1, 13:45 Goodwood, Wednesday
2m4½f Unibet You’re On Goodwood Handicap (Class 2) This is a competitive looking renewal of this staying handicap. True Destiny heads the market at 4/1, but isn’t that solid a favourite. You’d expect Summer Moon to set the pace in this and he’s entitled to bounce back from a disappointing…
1pt win Kameko @11/2, 15:15 Goodwood, Wednesday
This is a proper Group One with the Irish and English Guineas winners taking on the older generation’s leading milers Circus Maximus and Mohaather. It’s difficult to say who should be favourite as the form-lines don’t cross, but I do think the bet in this race is obvious. KAMEKO shouldn’t…
1pt win Chindit 9/1, 1pt win Bowland Park 33/1 13:50 Ascot, Saturday
This looks like a race that could throw up a big-priced winner. I’m backing two horses that bolted up on their most recent starts.CHINDIT did it very easily on debut. Last off the bridle, showing a good turn of foot and hitting the line hard, what’s not to like? He’s…
1pt each-way Laburnum @12/1, 19:15 Curragh, Saturday
The Irish Oaks will be staying on home soil this year with no British raiders in the line-up. Cayenne Pepper and Ennistymon set the standard with proven form at the highest level and they lead the market jointly at around 2/1. The former put in a respectable comeback finishing 4.5…
1pt each-way Molatham @15/2, 15:25 Deauville, Sunday
7f Qatar Prix Jean Prat (Group 1) Deauville showcases the Prix Jean Prat on Sunday with Pinatubo bidding to give his three-year-old campaign a win. He should relish the drop in trip to 7f having placed in both the 2,000 Guineas and the St. James Palace Stakes at Royal Ascot…
1pt win Hello Youmzain @9/2, 15:35 Newmarket, Saturday
The July Cup looks a strong renewal and our old favourite Golden Horde heads the betting. He was a fantastic winner of the Commonwealth Cup and should come on for the run. He also claims a handy 6lbs from the older horses, which may prove to be too much of…
