Flat Racing - Thursday 2nd Aug - 3rd day of Goodwood

[BKI Punter]

2:15 Goodwood Grandeur 1pt win - 12/1 (WH) Blue Surf 1pt win - 14/1 (B365) Pilgrims Rest 1pt win - 16/1 (Betvictor) All three are overpriced in my opinion. Grandeur didn't look to enjoy the ground at Ascot last time, and at Epsom when second to Wrotham Heath he had a bad draw, kept ducking left in the straight and still went very close. I thought Blue Surf would be one of the market leaders so very surprise to see 14/1 available. Had smart form as a 2yo and finally won his race on his first appearance as a 3yo. He battled well and ran on nicely in the closing stages and should be able to make an impact off a mark of just 84. Pilgrims Rest hasn't had the best draw the last twice, and although not chosen by Hughes I think he's the best chance of the Hannon pair. A return to good ground will suit.

Re: Flat Racing - Thursday 2nd Aug - 3rd day of Goodwood 2:45 Goodwood Cay Verde 2pt win - 9/2 (Bet365) Euxton Hall 1pt win - 16/1 (888sport) Cay Verde can be given another chance after a disappointing run at Royal Ascot when finishing behind tomorrow's opponent Ahern. The form of that race looks strong and he didn't travel as he can do. I think he's a fair price and wouldn't be surprised if he overturns form with Ahern. Euxton Hall is worth a small bet at the price. Last time out he was well beaten by Master of War but he had to make his own running when in fact I think he needs a lead.
