Glorious Goodwood Horse Racing Picks and Commentary
22 to 1 Tom’s International Tips
Glorious Goodwood – Day 2
2:25 – Race 2
Whispering Angel Oak Tree Stakes (Group 3) (Fillies & Mares) Cl1 (3yo+) 7f
9 – Allayaali – Draw 9
4 starts 2 wins 1 second
Coming into this race off a layoff, ran in group 3 last time losing to Fast Attack but a good 2nd.
She’s won a maiden (first start) and handicap
Toss her listed race at Sandown, 15L behind Inspiral who was 2yr filly of the year
If she’s ready, nice price you should get
8 – Soft Whisper – Draw 16
15 starts 7 wins 2 seconds
Won 2 in a row since returning from Dubai, where she didn’t do so well
She tends to be a front runner and will have overcome that outside draw so I predict she will be used early
She looks like one of these fillies who’s found form again
Favorite?
16 – Samahram – Draw 5
3 starts 2 wins 1 second
Won last out at ParisLongchamp in listed race at 1 mile but just by a head
She had to work hard in this race for the win with forward early, dropped back and then came on again
Placed in a group 3 at Saint Cloud and won her first at Saint Cloud
Ships in and Frankie Dettori has the ride
3:00 – Race 3
Markel Molecomb Stakes (Group 3) (IRE Incentive Race) Cl1 (2yo) 5f
8 – Trillium – Draw 6
2 starts 1 win 1 second
Very impressive run last out at Newbury winning by 4L and was a bit “green” in parts of the race
First start was at Goodwood to a horse looks he made very good
Race over the race is good and draw 6 is favorable so close to the lead for the running
Let’s put this one on top at a good price – 12-1? She’s been as low as 8-1 so someone likes her chances
4 – Rocket Rodney – Draw 8
4 starts 2 wins 2 seconds
After running 2nd at Royal Ascot, he came right back and won at Sandown by 2 1/2L in listed race. Big favorite that day.
He has a run at Goodwood, he won in a novice race as the big favorite
He’s certainly the one to beat
7 – Walbank – Draw 3
3 starts 1 win 2 seconds
Beaten last out at Royal Ascot by The Ridler by 1 3/4L as the favorite, group 2 race, he stumbled at the start
Won a novice at York by 7L in a 4 horse race
If runs back to he’s last race, he has a chance but there are other in the race, like him, who will try to gate to wire
3:35 – Race 4
Qatar Sussex Stakes (Group 1) (British Champions Series) Cl1 (3yo+) 1m
1 – Baaeed – Draw 2
8 for 8, best racehorse in the world right now
There really isn’t much more to say than, he’s one of the best milers ever
The only really test he’s had was last October vs another top miler – Palace Pier
He’s run once at Goodwood on good to soft going
7 – Modern Games – Draw 1
9 starts 5 wins 1 second 1 third
He started out the season with a win at ParisLongchamp going 1 mile in group 1 as the favorite
Then, he tried a group 1, Prix du Jockey Club going 1 ¼ miles and ran a game race 3rd but no match for the winner and didn’t have much at the end, too long of a race
Vadeni has since gone on a beat the older horses at Sandown. That race also produced one other next out winner in group 1, Onesto
After winning the Breeder’s Cup race, he’s raced in all group 1’s for 3yr and the last 2 results
I can’t explain the last race beaten by a top French sprinter by 1 1/2L running 5th but keep a strong pace running second in most of that race
A chance here to proven that he can return to old form and win
2 – Bathrat Leon – Draw 5
14 starts 4 wins 2 thirds
Won in Dubai last out by 1 1/4L going 1 mile in group 2 race
He’s a front runner and could he steal this race?
They space he’s races out current, so a layoff is normal
Group 2 winner in Japan
You certainly will get the odds on this horse
