Prestige Stakes 2011

2.50 Goodwood
Whiteley Clinic Prestige Stakes (Fillies' Group 3) (Class 1)  (2YO only)
Winner £22,684
Advice: 1 pt win Regal Realm

Owner detailsLady Gorgeous: Ran around just a bit when headed out of things on her racecourse debut and looked a much improved horse when getting there in plenty of time and over turning and odds – on hotpot at Newbury; Didn’t live up to that promise when 9th in Lowther last time and others preferred.

Owner detailsLily’s Angel: Raced exclusively at 5f on first 4 career starts, going through first three races unbeaten before bumping into useful pair in hot Beverley event; Only fifth in Albany (unsuited by the soft ground) and right back to form in Listed event/Super Sprint; Exposed but sure to be thereabouts based on her good second to Discourse last time out.

Owner detailsMy Queenie: Given more than enough ground to make up when second behind Rakasa at Goodwood but let the form down when beaten next time at this trip; Doesn’t look liky to win Group races.

Owner detailsNayarra: und only one too good on all 4 of her starts in maidens but this far harder so passed despite interesting booking of title chasing Kieren Fallon.

Owner detailsQuestioning: Never in danger when creating huge impression at Newbury on debut, beating a pair who both won next time out; Step up in class no trouble and should go well.

Owner detailsRakasa: Created a good impression when coming from long way back to land Goodwood maiden (my Queenie third) and will improve for the extra distance today; Should be respected for in form team.
 
Owner detailsRegal Realm: Created a promising impression when knuckling down well to land a Newmarket maiden but nobody could predict how well the form would have worked out (subsequent Cherry Hinton winner Gamilati in second, Albany winner in third, several other winners behind); Went down to a progressive winner on ground with cut in at Ascot and should go well here.

Verdict: Following an excellent effort in defeat at Ascot, REGAL REALM should have enough to hold off the promising maiden winners Raksa, Questioning and the solid Lily’s Angel.
