UK Horse Racing Tips: Goodwood

Narrowly denied on his debut in the Brocklesby, SON OF SARABI is entitled to improve plenty for that experience and he can strike for his in-form connections. A promising fourth when worn down late on at Newmarket last month, Guernsey Lady can follow the selection home, along with Kesta, who has a penalty to overcome for scoring at Brighton. Sands Of Spain looks to be the pick of the newcomers for Andrew Balding.
Prediction : 1st Son Of Sarabi 2nd Guernsey Lady 3rd Kesta

HAWKSBILL made a promising start to his three-year-old career at Kempton and with the promise of more to come, he can get back to winning ways. Unbeaten after a taking success at Nottingham last month, Secret Theory is a key player, along with Al Arbeed, who shaped well over 7f at Newmarket most recently. Amiloc and Noble Champion are capable of being in the shake-up as well.
Prediction : 1st Hawksbill 2nd Secret Theory 3rd Al Arbeed

This can go the way of TOCA MADERA, who made a highly encouraging return to action when second at Newmarket last month. Shagraan beat the selection a couple of times last year, including once over course and distance, and he should not be discounted. Only a nose separated Tatterstall (first) and Miss Attitude (second) when they met here last July, and both are entitled to be thereabouts again.
Prediction : 1st Toca Madera 2nd Shagraan 3rd Tatterstall

Official ratings would suggest that Scenic is the one to beat but while she is respected, preference is for PANTHERA. Having been narrowly denied in a Group 3 at Saint-Cloud in October, the filly went on to contest a Group 1 in Germany the following month. She's clearly held in high regard and it would come as no surprise were she to bounce back at this lower level. Allonsy progressed at a rate of knots last season and she might not have reached her peak just yet.
Prediction : 1st Panthera 2nd Scenic 3rd Allonsy

WALEEFY slightly disappointed on soft ground at Ascot on his final start as a three-year-old, but the Night Of Thunder colt had been progressing through the ranks previously. That was evidenced with an excellent second in a warm handicap at Newbury in August, and he's expected to resume his improvement. Chairmanoftheboard failed to make an impact on his reappearance but he should fare better here, and Knebworth can't be overlooked either.
Prediction : 1st Waleefy 2nd Chairmanoftheboard 3rd Knebworth

Northwest Passage has been consistent on the all-weather and appeals on just his second turf start. Similar comments apply to Vilaine Verlaine, whose two Chelmsford wins were registered over 1m2f, which bodes well for her return from a break off a 7lb higher rating than the latest of those successes. However, the low-mileage GRECIAN LEGACY, who has been gelded since he was last seen, has bags of scope for improvement and is a very tempting proposition from a feasible rating with a first-time tongue-tie added.
Prediction : 1st Grecian Legacy 2nd Northwest Passage 3rd Vilaine Verlaine

The adaptable JUNKANOO is a previous course winner that stays well and looks worth chancing from a potentially competitive rating. Fast ground could be a slight stumbling block, however, and it could pay to also check out Currumbin, whose recent all-weather form has been encouraging. Michael Keady's gelding reverts to turf with sound claims. Cardano, Diamond Bay and One Cool Dreamer can also figure in what promises to be a competitive end to the card.
Prediction : 1st Junkanoo 2nd Currumbin 3rd Cardano
