Thursday’s Wonderful Goodwood Cheat Sheet

I think INTO BATTLE has each-way claims for the gifted Ed Walker and Hollie Doyle. Draw might be higher however I’ll take an opportunity.

In a race stuffed with improvers, MORTLAKE has a large probability to step up over what might be his ultimate distance. He’s been utterly missed out there as an each-way possibility at an enormous value.

There is because of be somewhat little bit of rain round earlier than racing will get underway on Thursday. On the idea that it’s going to be on the straightforward facet of excellent, I’ll go along with MIDNIGHT GUN.

MIDNIGHT GUN was notably sturdy out there when making a profitable begin to his handicap profession at Newmarket in June.

Not authentic, however THE STRIKIN VIKING has already carried out greater than most of those, successful properly at York on debut after which chasing dwelling Henri Matisse within the Group 2 Railway Stakes on the Curragh.

TROPICAL STORM is kind of clearly enhancing along with his racing and all of his three tries to date have been over the minimal 5 furlongs.

THE STRIKIN VIKING has been good on his first two runs, and this doesn’t come too rapidly for him. I’d be astonished if he’s crushed.

THE STRIKIN VIKING had created an enormous impression at York and enhanced his status with out fairly having the ability to fend off one other glorious prospect when second within the Railway Stakes on the Curragh.

The Strikin Viking has been effectively discovered out there, and I like BLACK FORZA at a excessive value. He’s improved considerably, and represents strong each-way worth.

A poor renewal and JAN BRUEGHEL ought to take this in his stride for Aidan O’Brien and Ryan Moore. The one doubt is quick floor, however he ought to simply be too good.

MEYDAAN was working pretty effectively when the staff had been woefully off form and so must be given some credit score for that. Course type will stand him in good stead.

JAN BRUEGHEL has solely had two begins, and he’s received each. I’m not too positive there’s anything to return from his rivals. He deserves to be favorite.

BELLUM JUSTUM resumed his progress when third within the Hampton Courtroom at Royal Ascot and one other large run is on the playing cards below ultimate circumstances.

I can’t oppose JAN BRUEGHEL for Aidan O’Brien and Ryan Moore. His type is respectable, and he’s crying out for this 1m4f journey. I’ll be stunned if he will get crushed.

EMILY UPJOHN has to provide weight away to the youthful horses like Opera Singer and Elmalka, however I think she will be able to try this on the again of her monster run below Kieran Shoemark within the Fairly Polly over in Eire.

ELMALKA’s type to date this 12 months appears to be like rock strong and now that she will get the additional quarter-mile to stretch her legs we might see her proceed to succeed in increased up the scores as an each-way possibility.

I used to be towards OPERA SINGER and with Porta Fortuna within the Coronation Stakes at Ascot, however this 1m2f journey adjustments my thoughts.

OPERA SINGER had 1000 Guineas winner Elmalka behind in fourth when runner-up within the Coronation at Royal Ascot and may open her Group 1 account for the 12 months with the step as much as 1¼m promising to go well with.

Going to 1m2f will go well with OPERA SINGER, and it’s arduous to go towards her. I used to be stunned by the ways final day trip within the Coronation Stakes at Ascot however she will be able to bounce again.
