QATAR "GLORIOUS" GOODWOOD FESTIVAL [TUES 26th JULY - SAT 30th JULY] -- DAY FIVE

SATURDAY

We've some big races to take a look at on the final day and the feature is the Group 1 Nassau stakes which is due off at 3:10pm. And for those that like a challange there's also the 28 runner Stewards Cup off at 3.45pm.

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 to firm, Good in places.

Weather -- Generally sunny, bit breezy and high 21C

2:35 Qatar Handicap 1m 4f (Class 2) 

16 runner handicap for 3yo's over mile and a half, should be fairly easy yeah, plenty with a progressive profile but we favour both SHABBAH [11th 9/2] and REGAL MONARCH [Non Runner] against the field here.

Where did you get that hat ... 

3:10 Nassau Stakes (Fillies Group 1) 1m 1f
A small field of five here for the feature Group 1 race of the day and 1000 Guineas / Oaks winner MINDING [WON 1/5F] has scared the opposition off it seems. SWISS RANGE [4th 7/1] likely to chase her home.

3:45 Stewards Cup 6f (Heritage Handicap)

28 runners for this summer renewal of the Stewards Cup, where plenty of luck in running will be needed, and it makes sense to take one from each side of the draw. 

So I am going with HOOFALONG [14th 25/1] along with SPRING LOADED [19th 33/1] against the field and both should be fairly generously priced.

That's all for this week at Goodwood, Results will appear here during the course of Saturday afternoon.

Enjoy your weekend we've got meetings at Pontefract and Kempton to enjoy next Wednesday.
