Nothing really outstanding again today but a few of interest :
Sand 14:40 Special Quality NAP : Looks progressive and if transferring AW form to turf will be hard to beat. Dettori is an eye catching booking having a rare run for trainer Robert Cowell.
York 14.50 Best Prospect ew @18/1: A wide open race, I think this horse has ability but doesn't always respond well to pressure. Visored first time today which may help, at 18/1 looks good value.
Sand 16:25 Bakagu Each Way/At Wits End Bakagu won on seasonal debut before looking to be disappointing at Chester last time out. However, was clearly not suited by the tight turns at Chester and I think that run can be excused. At around 7/1 will probably take the conservative option and go ew on this C&D winner. At Wits End may well have plenty of improvement in him, win bet at around 15/2.
York 16.35 Piscean ew @11/1 : Consistent type who ran well when finishing 5th at Sandown last week. Definitely didn't get the run of the race and met all kinds of trouble in the finishing stages. Should have a decent chance with better luck in running, this bet has nothing to do with the fact I'm a Piscean
Chep 18:25 Cafe Elektric : Short enough at even money but definitely the one to beat, Joyously looks overpriced at 8/1 with several firms
Aint 18:35 Misty Dancer : Only 4 go to post and it would be very surprising if Mighty Matters was anywhere near good enough to win this. Misty Dancer makes most appeal of the rest running over a trip that should suit.
19.20 Goodwood Truism @ 11/2 : Ryan Moore is an interesting jockey booking for this C&D winner. Well backed on seasonal reappearance but ran too freely, hopefully Ryan can work his magic.
19.55 Goodwood Treble Jig : Strongly fancied today though the value has really gone, backed into even money from a best priced 5/2 though the withdrawal of Soul Station was a big factor in that.Beaten last time out but definitely capable of improvement and could well be another winner for the Stoute/Moore combination.
21.00 Goodwood Excellerator @5/1: Plume looks too short at around 5/4 so value looks to be elsewhere. Excellerator is a speedy type who should appreciate this track. Finished 3rd in a listed race at Haydock at seasonal debut.
Good luck all, WC starts today, come on England
