Flat Racing ~ Wednesday August 1st ~ Goodwood Day 2

[BillyHills]

3.45 Goodwood: UBS Stakes (Handicap) (Class 2) (1m4f) A race full of horses with winning form and unexposed profiles as you would expect and plenty in with a chance. I think Scatter Dice is sure to run his race and with the good apprentice jockey Darren Egan taking 5lbs off he must be on the shortlist. Handsome Man did nothing wrong at Ascot in a better race and can see no reason why he cant finish in the frame once again. Overall I think the bookies have this about right and the winner should come from the front six in the market. Selections: 2pts Scatter Dice 8/1 Stan James 1pt Handsome Man 10/1 Blue Square Full Preview; http://www.punterslounge.com/goodwood-betting-scatter-dice-can-give-johnston-and-egan-another-handicap-win-at-goodwood

Re: Flat Racing ~ Wednesday August 1st ~ Goodwood Day 2 2:35 Goodwood Olympic Glory 2pt win - 7/2 (888sport) Tha'ir 1pt win - 8/1 (B365) Olympic Glory is the form pick of the race having finished so close to Dawn Approach in the Coventry and then going on to beat Birdman on heavy ground last time out. Faster ground will suit tomorrow and the price looks more than fair. The current fav is clearly well regarded but not worth backing with the maiden win to his name. Tha'ir won impressively at Royal Ascot and seems well overpriced at 8/1, guaranteed to like the conditions and for a stable in form. 3:45 Goodwood Willie Wag Tail 2pt win - 9/1 (Betvictor) Big looking price here. His win last time out was very impressive to me as he seems the type that needs to be held on to, yet he swept to the front too soon as he was going far better than anything else and had to kick way too early. As soon as anything came near he ran on again with lots left in the tank. Unexposed over this trip and very hard to see him out of the frame.
