Glorious Goodwood Day Four

Happy I left yesterday alone, wouldn't have backed any of the winners except possibly the brilliant Shalaa, what an exciting prospect he is for the classics next season. Wednesday was a tough day but the small stakes involved meant it wasn't as painful as it could have been. On to Friday where I have two strong selections that should both take all the beating.

I was torn between two in the feature sprint but I'm siding with Cotai Glory over Moviesta. A classy two year old, he ran a massive race on reappearance where he was said to 'badly need the run' by his trainer only going down by a neck or so to the reopposing Out Do. He would have come on a bunch for that and it will have him absolutely spot on for this race, a welcome return to the course he was successful at last year in the Molecomb. He still has improvement in him and can take this on route to the Nunthorpe at York later in the season. I'll have a little on the RFC with Moviesta too, this race clearly been a target for a while, C/D winner and has every chance, not won for a while though and prefer the progressive younger horse here.

Seven furlongs looks like the perfect trip for Fadhayyil to continue her progression. She flew home last time at Royal Ascot when only going down by half a length to Dutch Connection who has since ran two superb races in Group company. The Barry Hills inmate had earlier ran a very solid race in the Guineas over a trip that now looks to have been too far, that as well as her bandage unravelling inside the final two furlongs which can't have been much help. She is the least exposed runner in this field and will hopefully get a good pace to aim at. She will be coming late and fast and can gain her first deserved success of the season.

Selections:

15.45 Cotai Glory 11/2
16.55 Fadhayyil 11/4

The double pays at 23/1 so having a few on that too.

Best of luck, hoping for a change in fortune.
