UK Horse Racing Tips: Goodwood

CALAFRIO won a classified event with plenty in hand at Thirsk a fortnight ago and the Phillip Kirby-trained filly could play another leading role if she handles this return to handicap company. Silent Flame has some C&D experience and can also go well given that she is on a good mark in comparison to her peak form. Lahina Bay and Media Guest complete the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Calafrio 2nd Silent Flame 3rd Lahina Bay

Things didn't pan out as hoped for MOLLIE FOSTER when she contested a Listed race at Deauville three weeks ago but she can get back on track with her sights lowered here. The daughter of Acclamation, who bettered her commendable second over this C&D on debut by landing a novice at Haydock last month, has plenty of scope for progression and tops the shortlist. Fellow previous winners Queen All Star and Sweet Sonata look the pick of the opposition.
Prediction : 1st Mollie Foster 2nd Queen All Star 3rd Sweet Sonata

PASHA emerged as the ready winer of a fillies maiden at Nottingham last week and, turned out under a 6lb penalty, the daughter of Advertise is an obvious candidate to follow up. Imitate represents powerful connections and is an appealing alternative to the selection on her handicap debut. Dramatic Effect, a C&D winner in June, is another notable contender given this represents a drop in class for her, while Crystal Casque is also considered.
Prediction : 1st Pasha 2nd Imitate 3rd Dramatic Effect

KATE THE COOK appeared to relish the step up to this trip when scoring gamely at Ffos Las last month, pulling clear with the runner-up. Now making her handicap debut off what looks a workable mark, she gets the vote to land the spoils for the in-form Ralph Beckett team. Crystal Flyer found only one rival too good when second over 1m4f at Ascot when last seen and she should be on the premises once more nudged up just 1lb. D Day Arvalenreeva is also a key player.
Prediction : 1st Kate The Cook 2nd Crystal Flyer 3rd D Day Arvalenreeva

Richard Hughes has his string in fine form at present and his MISS ANYA edges preference. She was sporting blinkers for the first time (retained) when finishing runner-up over this trip at Newmarket recently and, nudged up 1lb, another bold showing should be forthcoming. Cluedo catches the eye off just 3lb higher than her last winning mark and, on her first start since wind surgery, she is respected most of the remainder. Four Adaay completes the shortlist on the back of a solid runner-up effort at Yarmouth earlier this month.
Prediction : 1st Miss Anya 2nd Cluedo 3rd Four Adaay

Beautiful Crown must enter calculations upped 4lb for a recent victory over 1m2f at Chelmsford, but his tendency to break slowly tempers enthusiasm somewhat. SHALFA impressed when making all over 1m2f at Brighton on her penultimate start and, after shaping well again when runner-up at Windsor last month, she gets the vote to land the spoils. This step back in trip can help Bletchley Storm be seen to better effect and she completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Shalfa 2nd Beautiful Crown 3rd Bletchley Storm
