Hi all,
The Qatar Goodwood Festival begins tomorrow and most of the week’s selections will be from the Sussex track.
Today’s selections are from Ayr and Galway.
Ayr
2:45 – Starshiba – 6/1 – Gen – Vince Lombardi looks a well-treated horse but needs a good gallop to chase which he might not get here. Preference then for the selection who might be on a 13 long losing run but hasn’t done anything wrong on his last two starts, finishing a head 2nd of 8 over C&D two starts back and short head 2nd of 6 at Epsom last time. Nudged up 2lb for his latest effort but remains well treated on the best of his form. Good draw in stall one for a front runner.
Galway
7:50 – Your Eyes Only – 9/2 @ Paddy Power & Bet365 – The filly lacks the experience of most of her rivals but does come into the race after winning a Sligo maiden (1m 2f) last time. Her mark looks tough, but she shaped last time like 1m 4f would bring out further improvement in her. Trainer Willie Mullins has a good record with his flat runners at the Galway Festival with 17 winners from 62 runners 27% +39.04 33 placed 53% since 2017.
Cheers
John
