Flat Racing Tuesday 26th July

2.00 Goodwood Fiercely competitive event and nothign really stands out for me in a big way but Bikini Babe is too bigger price to ignore and must have a chance at an EW price! She has been competeing at the top level in listed and group company but has been a bitter disappointment throughout really except for a couple of good efforts as a 2yr and 3yr old but shown next to nothing this season but what form she has shown to date is when she is ridden prominently and she is ideally drawn to do just that today in stall 1 and handicapper is taking a massive chancing dropping her so quickly down to a mark of just 85 having been rated as high as 105 at peak. Considering the size of this handicap there isnt a huge amount of front runners and may just get the soft lead required for a good run off a very low weight and at 40/1 she looks massive (unfortunately missed the 50s)! 1pt e/w Bikini Babe 40/1 vc 4.50 Goodwood Another tasty looking EW race! For me Duster has been an eye catcher throughout most of his career, often front runs or is prominent and travels kindly in front and clearly came on for his first run of the season when running out comfrotable winner at Warwick up 5lb and wasnt disgraced in hot handicap at sandown off new mark and was a good 2nd behind the rejuvinated Shavansky up a 1lb for that effort and based on that effort could take hand only concern is the wide draw but may benefit from a slightly more patient ride! 1pt e/w Duster 16/1 lads

Re: Flat Racing Tuesday 26th July 2:35 Goodwood: Slumber 1pt win 5/1 William Hill While hoping for a good run from my ante post Leger hope Fiorente, at the prices today Slumber looks the value call. He has form behind both Pisco Sour at Royal Ascot and Nathaniel & Treasure Beach at Chester. Looking back at those two races, Slumber was in fairness always held hehind the future Irish Derby winner and subsequent King George victor, but there is no disgrace in that. At Royal Ascot Slumber was third to Pisco Sour, however, he may have got closer with a clear run and like his run at Chester this represents top class Group form. To add weight to Slumber's case, Barry Hills has also hit a very hot patch over the past few days.
