17:32 – Sir Eric Parker Memorial EBF Restricted Maiden Fillies Stakes (EBF Restricted Race Qualifier) (GBB)
Race Details: 6f | Class 4 | Going: 6.0) (Soft, good to soft in places (goingstick) | | flat
This doesn’t look the deepest restricted maiden on paper and the shape of it is fairly straightforward. Rollthedicebaby sets the standard comfortably after a promising second and her mark of 82 already gives her a clear edge on what has been shown. Tallahassee Lassie is the obvious danger among those with experience, while Bearly Blue and Sovereign Beach both need to step forward from debut. The rest are newcomers, which always adds a layer of guesswork in these early-season juvenile races, especially at Goodwood where the track can catch out the inexperienced. Still, if the favourite handles the softer ground, this looks more about her reproducing the form than an especially fierce contest. The each-way angle is less obvious, but Tallahassee Lassie makes some appeal.
Top Selections
1. Rollthedicebaby – 11/10 with Bet365
Jockey: Neil Callan | Trainer: Richard Hannon | Form: 2 | Rating: 82 | Topspeed: 51
She’s the one they all have to beat. That debut second is comfortably the best piece of form in the race and an opening rating of 82 in this company is a serious statement. Richard Hannon’s juveniles often improve for a first run rather than regress from it, and Neil Callan is more than capable of keeping things simple on a track where that matters. The slight question is the ground, because not every speedily bred two-year-old relishes soft, but on raw ability she’s clear. At 11/10, she isn’t throwing money at you, but she still looks hard to oppose if taking the expected step forward. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Tallahassee Lassie – 7/2 with Bet365
Jockey: Kaiya Fraser | Trainer: James Fanshawe | Form: 6 | Rating: 67 | Topspeed: 57
The finishing position doesn’t leap off the page, but there was enough in that first run to think she can do better here. Her Topspeed figure of 57 is actually the best published number in the field, which suggests that sixth can be marked up a touch rather than dismissed. James Fanshawe is not known for having them fully revved first time, so natural improvement is easy to foresee, and a low draw could help her travel into the race nicely. At 7/2 she’s no secret, but in a race where the newcomers are difficult to weigh up, she looks the most solid each-way punt against the favourite. Bet: EACH-WAY
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Keep it simple: Rollthedicebaby is the win play because she brings the standout form and the best rating into a modest-looking restricted maiden. For those wanting a second angle, Tallahassee Lassie is the each-way option in an eight-runner field, with scope to improve plenty from her debut. Bearly Blue is the one I’d fear most if bouncing forward, while any market strength behind the Hannon newcomer Gravastar would be worth noting.

18:04 – Fitzdares Telephone & Text Betting Handicap
Race Details: 1m 1f | Class 5 | Going: 6.0) (Soft, good to soft in places (goingstick) | | flat
This looks a fair little 3yo handicap rather than a deep one, and there are cases to be made for several of the eight. Three Socks On arrives as the obvious progressive type after back-to-back wins before finding one too good last time, while Hove Ranger comes here on the back of a breakthrough success and still looks capable of another step forward from a light weight. Lavender Gold has the strongest piece of consistent form on paper and should strip fitter for a reappearance seventh, but stall 8 at Goodwood over this sort of trip is not ideal if the ground stays testing. Marveling is another with enough ability to get involved from the foot of the weights. Tricky enough, but not impossible: the improving profiles appeal most.
Top Selections
1. Hove Ranger – 4/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Rhys Clutterbuck | Trainer: Gary & Josh Moore | Form: 096-21 | Rating: 75 | Topspeed: 44
He looks the most interesting horse in the race. The form figures are going the right way in a hurry, with that second followed by a first suggesting he has finally worked out what is required now handicapping over middle distances. A mark of 75 does not look harsh for a 3yo open to progress, and the big pull at the weights against some of these more exposed rivals is a major plus on soft ground at Goodwood, where balance and stamina matter. Rhys Clutterbuck should be able to keep things simple from stall 5, and 4/1 is a fair working price for a colt who may still have a bit in hand. Bet: WIN
2. Marveling – 15/2 with Bet365
Jockey: Sean D Bowen | Trainer: Ollie Sangster | Form: 79-645 | Rating: 75 | Topspeed: 70
Marveling makes plenty of each-way appeal in a race where not all of these arrive bombproof. She has not won yet, but her recent efforts have been respectable enough and that Topspeed figure of 70 stacks up well in this field. Off just 118, she gets a lovely racing weight for this sort of contest, and there was no disgrace in her latest fifth given she is at least showing she can hold her level in handicaps. Ollie Sangster’s filly does not need to improve much to nick a place, and if the race turns attritional, that low weight could become a real asset. At 15/2, she looks the value each-way punt. Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Hove Ranger is the main play as a win bet at around 4/1, with his progressive profile and handy weight making him the percentage call. Marveling is the each-way alternative at 15/2, especially with three places on offer in an eight-runner race. Three Socks On is the obvious danger if continuing his upward curve, while Lavender Gold is respected but the wide draw just tempers enthusiasm.

18:39 – Highclere Castle Gin Handicap (GBBPlus Race)
Race Details: 1m 6f | Class 4 | Going: 6.0) (Soft, good to soft in places (goingstick) | | flat
This is a proper staying handicap rather than a deep one, but it is still a race with a few believable angles. Cruden heads the market after a string of solid efforts and the inside draw won’t hurt around here, while Aggagio is the class act on figures and should be sharper for his recent return. Mr Freedom has only had the one run back from a long absence and is interesting if that outing brought him on, and Expressionless is another with a workable profile under a light weight. Soft ground over this trip tends to expose any weakness, so proven stamina and the ability to keep galloping matter more than a flashy turn of foot. It looks competitive enough, but not impossible to solve.
Top Selections
1. Cruden – 4/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Jack Mitchell | Trainer: Dan Horsford | Form: /2-525 | Rating: 90 | Topspeed: 83
Cruden is the percentage call. He hasn’t got his head in front for a while, but those recent figures tell you he’s knocking on the door and his mark of 90 still looks workable judged on the consistency he’s been showing in similar staying handicaps. Stall 1 is no bad place to be if Jack Mitchell can hold a handy position, and this sort of test should suit a horse who keeps finding off the bridle rather than one reliant on a quick change of gear. At 4/1 with Bet365, he makes plenty of appeal in a race where several of his rivals have something to prove. Bet: WIN
2. Mr Freedom – 4/1 with Betfair
Jockey: George Bass | Trainer: Sheena West | Form: 1165/3 | Rating: 87 | Topspeed: 81
Mr Freedom is the each-way angle because his comeback run hinted there is still a race in him. That 3 at the end of his form string came after a long absence, and Sheena West’s old boy shaped as though the outing would bring him on nicely. He’s a seven-year-old now, so there are no secrets, but he stays, handles ease in the ground and looks the type to keep plugging on when others have cried enough late on. George Bass knows how to ride these patient stayers, and in an eight-runner field the 4/1 available with Betfair gives him solid place claims with a realistic chance of better. Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Cruden is the main play here as the most solid option in a race lacking an obvious improver, so he gets the win vote. Mr Freedom is the each-way punt on the strength of that encouraging return from a break and his proven stamina. Aggagio is the obvious danger if building on his reappearance, while Expressionless is respected off a light weight.

19:14 – Fitzdares Fillies’ Handicap
Race Details: 6f | Class 5 | Going: 6.0) (Soft, good to soft in places (goingstick) | | flat
This looks a useful enough three-year-old fillies’ handicap for the grade, but it is not short on angles. Double Naughty arrives in winning form and is the obvious starting point after making a successful reappearance, while Overbudget has been knocking on the door and again looks set to give a good account from stall 1. Tashi Delek is another with upside for a yard that often does well with patient types, and Bundok shaped a bit better than bare form figures had suggested when getting off the mark in the frame last time. The softer ground adds another layer, especially over Goodwood’s sharp 6f where balance and track position matter. It is a tricky enough puzzle rather than a penalty kick, but there is one who still looks the percentage call.
Top Selections
1. Double Naughty – 2/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Taylor Fisher | Trainer: Joe Tickle | Form: 9433-1 | Rating: 76 | Topspeed: 69
She is hard to get away from. That latest win advertised exactly the right profile for this sort of race: a filly who had been edging towards her moment and then delivered on her return. A mark of 76 looks fair rather than punitive, and her Topspeed figure of 69 is comfortably the best on offer here, which matters in a race where a few still have questions to answer. Drawn in 2, she should be able to get a handy pitch, and if Taylor Fisher can keep things uncomplicated, she has the look of a filly still ahead of the assessor. At 2/1 she is no giveaway, but she is the solid one.
Bet: WIN
2. Bundok – 7/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Joe Leavy | Trainer: Hughie Morrison | Form: 053 | Rating: 71 | Topspeed: 31
Bundok is the each-way play in a race where a few of the market principals are already quite exposed for the level. Her form figures do not scream certainty, but that third last time was a step in the right direction and suggested she is beginning to learn her job. Hughie Morrison is not one to overface his younger horses, so the move into this company makes some appeal, and a mark of 71 leaves room for improvement if she handles these conditions. Stall 10 is not ideal round here, but she has enough scope to outrun that if settling early. Available at 7/1, she looks a sensible each-way punt rather than a wild swing.
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Keep it straightforward: Double Naughty is the win bet, as she brings the strongest recent form and the best speed figure into the race. Bundok is the each-way alternative at the bigger price, with enough untapped potential to hit the frame at least. Overbudget is the obvious danger, while Tashi Delek also has the profile of one who could step forward.

19:49 – Casamigos Handicap
Race Details: 5f | Class 4 | Going: 6.0) (Soft, good to soft in places (goingstick) | | flat
This is only a five-runner sprint, but it is not lacking intrigue. Wedonttelllies heads the market after getting off the mark before failing to back it up in stronger company, while Comic Strip has been keeping better races than this and looks the obvious danger if handling these softer conditions. Killavia is interesting from stall 1 with the best Topspeed figure in the field and could easily bounce back from a quiet reappearance, so there is more depth here than the numbers suggest. Saffron Dandy has gone the wrong way since a bright start, and Carefree Dream looks up against it on the figures. In a race where tactical speed and handling the ground will count for plenty, it feels competitive enough but still winnable for one with a bit more upside.
Top Selections
1. Comic Strip – 11/4 with Bet365
Jockey: Jack Mitchell | Trainer: Simon & Ed Crisford | Form: 12-375 | Rating: 85 | Topspeed: 75
Comic Strip gets the vote in a race where the favourite is hardly bombproof. He began life with a win and a second, and although he has not quite delivered since returning, his latest three runs suggest he has been contesting races with a bit more depth than this small-field handicap. An opening mark in the mid-80s looks workable rather than lenient, but this is a drop into a more manageable contest and Jack Mitchell is a positive booking for a sharp 5f around here. At 11/4, he makes more appeal than the shorter-priced market leader and looks the one most likely to take advantage if this turns tactical. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
Betting Strategy
With only five runners, this is a straight win-only race and there is no each-way angle worth forcing. Comic Strip is the preferred play at 11/4, with his recent level of opposition giving him a solid look in this company. Wedonttelllies is the obvious danger on the back of that recent win, while Killavia is the one who could easily outrun his price if reviving from his seasonal comeback.

20:24 – Download The Track Radio App Amateur Jockeys’ Handicap
Race Details: 1m | Class 4 | Going: 6.0) (Soft, good to soft in places (goingstick) | | flat
This looks a small-field amateur riders’ handicap where recent, reliable mile form should count for plenty. Desperate Dan is the obvious starting point after winning three of his last four completed starts before a quiet reappearance, and he’s the one the market has latched onto. Eupator arrives in better current nick, though, having shaped well when runner-up last time, while Havana Blue and Post Rider have the sort of profiles that could make them dangerous if the race gets messy in the straight. Talis Evolvere and Warning Sign are weighted to be competitive on old form but both come here needing to bounce back. It’s not the deepest Class 4 you’ll see, but in these amateur events tactical positioning and getting through the ground often decide everything.
Top Selections
1. Desperate Dan – 6/4 with Bet365
Jockey: Miss Brodie Hampson | Trainer: Peter Chapple-Hyam | Form: 6141-9 | Rating: 75 | Topspeed: 63
He’s hard to oppose if forgiving that reappearance ninth, especially as his profile before that was rock-solid for this sort of race. Three wins from his last four completed starts tells its own story, and a mark of 75 still looks manageable if he returns anywhere near his late-season level. Miss Brodie Hampson is more than capable in these contests and this doesn’t look a brutal race for the grade. At 6/4 he isn’t exactly hidden from the market, but he’s the one with the clearest recent winning habit and the one most likely to cope if this turns into a proper test on soft ground. Bet type: straightforward win play.
Bet: WIN
2. Eupator – 5/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Mr James Hills | Trainer: Richard Hannon | Form: 138942 | Rating: 76 | Topspeed: 52
Eupator makes plenty of each-way appeal because he comes here in better current form than most and has been knocking on the door rather than running flat. That latest second suggested he’s ready to strike again, and his overall sequence this season is that of a horse holding his level well. He’s only 4, so there may still be a bit more to come at this trip, and from a middle draw he should get a fair tow into the race. At 5/1, he looks the value alternative to the favourite, particularly in a race where several of the others have questions to answer. Bet type: solid each-way punt.
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Desperate Dan is the win bet, as he brings the strongest recent winning profile and should be better for his comeback run. Eupator is the each-way option at a fairer price, with his current consistency making him attractive for the places and possibly more. Havana Blue is the one I’d fear most beyond the pair if handling conditions well enough.
