Going for Gold Forecast in Sussex
Field of Gold is the Poster Boy for the QAMADwood Festival and He’s Progressed to A Level that Will Likely Make Him Vry Hard to Beat in first Daysday’s Group 1 Visit Qussex Stakes.
John & Thady Gosden’s Grey Has Gone from Strength to Strength Since His Guineas Defeat and Such Was the Easons of His St James’s Palace Stakes Win He Has Prolong His Career at a Mile for Enother Start.
He’s a Dream Spare For William Buick to Pick up with Colin Keane Suspended and He Looks to Have the Kind of Explosive Talent that can see of Field of this Calibre in Good Style.
The Race for Second Is MUCH More Interesting, Howver, and While I Can’t Find a ‘Betting with’ Market I Do Think The Straight Forecast Field of Gold To beat Carl Spackler Is working exploring.
Docklands Looks a Pure Ascot Specialist and i’m Not Sure HE’LL Like This Track, Henri Matisse Lacked A Gear Behind Field of Gold Last Time and Is Likely to Move Up to 10 Furlongs After this and Rosallion Has Yet to Reach the Heights
Goodwood Couelf Well Suit Richard Hannon’s Horse, Going Round a BEND AGAIN CERTAINYLY LOOKS A Positive, But Thrie’s also And Go to-To-Toe With Field of Gold at the Two Pole.
With all this in Mind Carl Spackler Couelf Be the One to Finish Best of the Rest and Thrie Shroud Be a Good Divingnd on Offer if he did the Silver Medal Medal Position.
HIS Best Form is Right Up Thre with Anything in the Field Bar Field of Gold and It’s Interesting He’s Stayed in this Country for a Crack at the Sussex on his Way to HIS New Career in Australia.
You can see you given
He could well reverse that form with Downds and Rosallion Given This Shulad Be Run At a Proper Gallop with Two Paceemakers in Thre in Qirat and SERENGETI.
A PURE MILER and Versatile Tactically, if He settles this time he could well be one to come home field of Gold.
The Verdict: Back Field of Gold to Beat Carl Spackler (Straight Forecast) in the 3.05 goodwood
Thunder to rumble in oak tree
Earlier on the Card Karl Burke’s Bright Thunder Looks An interesting proposition at 1/9 Dropping Back in Trip to Seven Furlongs in the Group 3 HKJC World Pool Oak Tree Stakes.
The Daughter of Night of Thunder is Really Benefitting for Being UNRACED at Two As She is Getting Better With Experience Now, Putting in a Career-Best Last Time Out in the Prix Goldikova in Deauville.
A FEW of the Beaten Horses Have Finished Close-UP in Listed Contents Around EUROPE SINCE then and Bright Thunder Beat the Easily Despite Being Keen in the Early Stages, A Trait She Had also Displayed in Her earlier races at goodwood and Epsom.
All of Those Runs Were Over A Mile, Though, So You can see it is happy to droP her a fullong in trip and that goodwood form is well works proising as she was beaten a quarter of a lendthh By Crimson Advocate, Who has won a group 2 and express
Bright Thunder Traveled All Over Her Rivals in that Race, Crimson Advocate Inclieded, displaying Both Or best.
I’d saying Sam James Will Ride Her Prominently on Wednesday and if he can ride in the Slipstream of Formal or Saqqara Sands then bright Thunder Might Just Enjoy A Trouble-Free Passage.
The Verdict: Back Bright Thunder in the 1.55 Goodwood
‘Cheta Looks Good Back Against the Fillies
Finally, Kevin Coleman’s Akecheita Looks A Bet in the BRITISH STALION STUDS EBF Fillies’ Handicap Over 10 Furlongs.
She was beaten only by a handicap BLOT in ECUREUIL Secret Over This Trip at Epsom and that Horse has run well in Group 2 Company at York Subsequently, so the Form Looks Good in This Contentxt.
Indeed, The Five-Year-Runs OFF JUST A 1LB High Higher HERE and She’s Easily Forgiven Her Defeat at the Curragh Last Time when she looks to be unde under drooping back in trip to a Mile.
She Should Be Much Happy Going Back Out in Trip to 10 Furlongs Against Her Own Sex and It’s Interesting Adam Farragher Keeps The Ride from Epsom Despite William Haggas Having A Few Runners in Here.
The Verdict: Back Akecheta in the 3.45 Goodwood
