UK Horse Racing Tips: Goodwood

HARRY KNOWS was a promising second at Newbury on debut and, as the only entrant with experience, is a logical option with improvement highly likely. Rollthedicebaby holds some big sales-race targets and is an interesting newcomer to keep an eye on in the betting. Super Tuscan's yard sent out the winner of the corresponding race last year and the son of Dark Angel is another to bear in mind.
Prediction : 1st Harry Knows 2nd Rollthedicebaby 3rd Super Tuscan

PACIFIC AVENUE, who sets the standard on official ratings, posted his best effort yet when filling the runner-up berth in the UAE 2000 Guineas when last seen. With the rest returning from longer absences, this could good time to side with the son of Dubawi. The biggest danger is posed by Pathein, who wasn't beaten far in the Autumn Stakes at Newmarket last October, while Protection Act has more scope than Allegresse.
Prediction : 1st Pacific Avenue 2nd Pathein 3rd Protection Act

ROSARIO is not without risk due to his tendency to fluff the start. However, he won this race off 2lb higher 12 months ago and is dangerous to underestimate. Trefor made good progress last season and is the type of sprinter that could get better with age. However, 6f might be his optimum trip and his record when fresh is a slight concern. Spartan Arrow, King Of Light and Lexington Blitz are notable alternatives for the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Rosario 2nd Trefor 3rd Spartan Arrow

With the Gosden team in good form there is every chance that CREPE SUZETTE can make a winning return for the season with her third to Santorini Star in the Park Hill Stakes last September the best form on offer. She is officially rated 6lb higher and upwards to her rivals here and will look to improve her one win from seven starts record. Kissmehoneyhoney won her only start last year and could be her biggest danger, followed by Toulouse Listed victor Ryka.
Prediction : 1st Crepe Suzette 2nd Kissmehoneyhoney 3rd Ryka

Robert Cowell has a reputation with his sprinters and it will be interesting to see if he can get improvement out of Lingfield second Uncle Don. EVENING SAIGON has top-weight after winning at Newcastle last month and he may have more to offer after only six career starts making him the one to beat off 3lb higher, while Moving Force intrigues. Competitive in better races in 2024, he has his first start since after moving to Mark Loughnane last summer.
Prediction : 1st Evening Saigon 2nd Uncle Don 3rd Moving Force

Veritable looks to get off the mark at the fourth attempt and has been improving with every start, culminating in a second to Maho Bay at Kempton in December. Gelded since, he can go well but may have to give way to LUX AETERNA, who showed serious improvement to win at Wolverhampton on his first start after being gelded. An added 6lb from the handicapper may not stop him doubling up, with Morbeh the suggestion for the minor placing.
Prediction : 1st Lux Aeterna 2nd Veritable 3rd Morbeh

Diamond Bay won this last year and thanks to some below par efforts since, he runs this year off a mark 6lb lower. If first-time blinkers work he can go close but SCARLET MOON is preferred. He has two wins over the distance to his name and has been running well over hurdles lately for the in-form Archie Watson stable. Gallivanted is hard to ignore after running on into third over shorter at Thirsk and he may prove a serious danger.
Prediction : 1st Scarlet Moon 2nd Gallivanted 3rd Diamond Bay
