Glorious Goodwood Day 5 - Supporting Races

Play Britain's Got Talent Bingo At meccabingo.com Handicap (Class 3) (3YO only) (1.55) - A rather uninspiring contest for the track and ROCK N ROLL RANSOM (win) is probably going to make a bold bid to keep an unbeaten record going. He has been raised 5lb for his gutsy win over a mile at Salisbury but the step up to this trip should suit and he is entitled to run another big race. VALIANT KNIGHT (each/way) has been performing with credit in handicaps at this sort of trip and this is no worse than the handicap he was a close second in at Ascot last time.

Bluesq.com 'For 5 Places In Stewards' Cup' Stakes (Registered As Thoroughbred Stakes) (Listed) (2.30) - Another pretty uninspiring race for the track and the level. I’m pretty sure that SEA LORD win) will take all the beating after his fantastic win in the Tote Mile yesterday afternoon. He should be up to this level is over those exertions. Treadwell did well when winning the Buckingham Palace Handicap at Royal Ascot and should like the longer trip but he was lucky to be on the right side that day (far side) and was getting a strong from Himalaya. With that in mind, DESERY MYTH (each/way) gets the pick to get back on track following 2 below par efforts, one when he didn’t fully stay the 10f of the Lingfield Derby Trial and the other when again not staying the 10f at Newbury behind Myplaclater last time. The drop in trip should suit and he can go close. If Field Of Dreams settled today and runs to his best level of form he could take a fair bit of stopping.

Bluesq.com Stewards' Cup (Heritage Handicap) (Class 2) (3YO plus) (3.40) - As competitive a renewal as ever and any number of horses could win (Palace Moon, Striking Sprit, Johnny Mudball, Rileyskeepingfaith, Noverre To Go, Johannes, Castles In The Air, Secret Asset and Parisan Pyramid to name a few), so I’ll just preview the 2 that I’m picking. The high drawn numbers all look to have a good solid pace with them and with many horses drifting over to the far side of the track, it’s safe to say that the far side is looking good. However, with front-runners Parisian Pyramid, Striking Spirit and Everymanforhimself drawn low you’ll be OK either side. GENKI (each/way) may have a 7lbs higher mark for this than he did when winning last year but he has shown even better form this season, coming an excellent third under dire circumstances when caught 8 wide on ground where the stands rail was heavily favoured on 1,000 Guineas day, before winning his side in the Wokingham only to be only sixth overall behind Laddies Poker Two. Even after getting overly buzzed up in headgear last time, he still won from Castles In The Air (who won the international handicap at Ascot just last week). ENACT (each/way) is a lightly-raced progressive sort from a top yard, and she's still nicely handicapped just 3lbs higher than when second to an improving sort on her seasonal return. Both the filly's wins have come under these conditions and she can be expected to have improved for that comeback run.

Mobile Betting At iPhone.bluesq.com E.B.F. Maiden Stakes (Class 2) (2YO only) (4.15) - Hannon took this race with a newcomer in 2007 and landed the race again last year, so with juvenile success already this week it'd be little surprise were PAUSANIAS (win) to take this first time out and he gets the percentage call over a decent looking bunch.

Play Poker At gcasino.com Nursery (Class 2) (2YO only) (4.50) - Dandy Nicholls is going for a remarkable FIVE TIMER in this race, and as such Dolly Parton is given the utmost respect but EUCARIST(win), an impressive winner of a decent novice event at Kempton over 6f last week, does not look impossibly treated on her nursery debut based on her best runs and could take some beating.

Bluesq.com Supporting Marie Curie Apprentice Handicap (5.15) - TRUISM (win) will be tough to beat if in the same form as earlier in the week, when unlucky not to go closer.
