Goodwood 14.25 Cl 2 Handicap 194 (94.0) 7f hv – 10 Run
3yo = 5lbs wfa allowance
Last year – 467 (96.0) gd – 12 ran
Salute The Soldier 5/1 Co F 4-9-0 (98) Dr 9 by 0.25l from Tabarrak 13/2 6-9-10 (108) Dr 5
Oh This Is Us 8/1 6-9-7 (105) Dr 2 was 2.1l 9th
Cardsharp 5-9-5 (98) Dr 9 (0.3)
’19 record: 2/1/9 Best: 207.5 off 107 carrying 9-13 7f gd/fm
’20 record: 0/1/8 Best: 191.7 off 101 carrying 9-3 7f gd/fm
Plus: class (W+); distance (W); course (F); last outing (7 days); last form run (34 days); down 2lbs (wt); down 2lbs (OR);
Minus: going (?);
Verdict: running off 9lbs below last winning mark, has no hcap form on sf, and a dubious prospect today.
Cold Stare 5-8-10 (89) Dr 1 (1.6)
’19 record: 1/1/8 Best: 183.5 off 92 carrying 9-4 6f hv
’20 record: 0/1/6 Best: 181.4 off 91 carrying 9-0 7f sf
Plus: class (F); going (W); distance (W); last outing (13 days); last form run (55 days); down 12lbs (wt); down 2lbs (OR);
Minus: course; up in class;
Verdict: strictly a mud-lover having won in UK on sf and hv, both at Haydock; however, failed at Haydock lto weakening in final furlong in a Cl3 over 7f; given the ground conditions has a chance.
Magical Wish 4-9-4 (97) Dr 3 (0.6)
’19 record: 1/3/9 Best: 175.5 off 91 carrying 9-8 7f gd/fm
’20 record: 2/1/6 Best: 187.4 off 95 carrying 9-2 7f gd/fm
15/08/20 Cl 2 Hcap (97/92.4) 7f gd/fm Donc 9-2 18/1 1/11 0.25l off 95
made all, ridden and pressed over 2f out, narrow advantage 1f out, stayed on
Plus: class (W); distance (W); course (F); form run lto (14 days);
Minus: going (?); up 2lbs (wt); up (2lbs);
Verdict: still improving but the going a question mark, although he has form on gd/sf; worth a dabble.
Breath Of Air 4-8-10 (89) Dr 7 (9.2)
‘19 record: 0/1/6
’20 record: 1/1/4 Best: 173.8 off 88 carrying 10-0 7f gd
09/08/20 Cl 3 Hcap (67/85.8) 7f gd Hayd 10-0 9/2 F 2/10 0.02l off 88
tracked leader, challenged on outside 2f out, ridden and hung right to near side rail from over 1f out, strong run inside final furlong, just failed
Plus: class (W); distance (W); form run lto (21 days); down 18 lbs (wt);
Minus: going (?); course; up 1lb (OR); up in class;
Verdict: never run of softer than gd/sf, so that’s a question; won Cl 2 at Newbury on return off 85 on gd, but has only won a mdn off gd/sf so doubt of going..
A total gamble on hv going, but it is Saturday, so omitting those proven on hv but way out of form such as Alemaratalyoum, I’ll go for Magical Wish from Cold Stare and Breath Of Air.
