QATAR "GLORIOUS" GOODWOOD FESTIVAL [TUES 28th JULY - SAT 1st AUG] -- DAY FOUR

FRIDAY

Thursday was not the best and even a winner didn't soften the blow, we are now behind to the tune of -0.725 on wards to Day Four.

We are only looking at the major races each day not the entire card so focused on the main Group Races or major handicaps. The meeting runs to Saturday and we'll keep running totals of profit / loss throughout the week.

Going -- Good.
Weather -- Generally sunny, bit breezy and high 21C



2:35 Bonhams Thoroughbred Stakes 1m (Group 3)
A race that revolves around the fav from Godolphin, LATHARNACH and if in good order should win this easy, but I don't think the yard are in that great form now and he's too short for me. 

I like the chances of MOHEET [6th 6/1] and MALABAR [WON 6/1] against the field the latter was a good 4th in the 1000 Guineas.

Where did you get that hat ... 

3:10 Betfred Mile 1m (Heritage Handicap)
A nice big handicap now with 20 runners over the mile it'll have a few hard luck stories for sure, and we'll start with MUNAASER [5th 7/1] who deserves another chance of a big prize having met trouble last time but still finished second. 

That one is drawn low so we'll even up our chance with one from the other side in AYAAR [6th 12/1] who has the assistance of Frankie which must help.


3:45 King George Stakes 5f (Group 2)

Must still be worth keeping on the good side of the improving OUT DO [10th 8/1] with the yard in good order he's already accounted for a number of runners in this field and can do so again.

The yard also run MOVE IN TIME [3rd 7/1] so we'll take the pair versus the field here.

That's all for Friday, we started well with a nice 6/1 winner but after not so well, still it turned as a 1pt profit today for level SP wagers, as such we have a +0.275pt profit to go forth into the final day. 

Saturday will therefore be updated soon and the conclusion of this years meeting will feature a great card including the Group 1 Nassau Stakes and also the Stewards Cup handicap.
