Friday 23rd June - Daily Acca

[Tumbleweed King]

Good morning all,

There was a slight delay in the prices coming through from Goodwood last night so here is the daily accumulator.

17:12 Goodwood

Rainyniteingeorgia (6/5) is the least exposed in this line up and ran a race pilled with promise on debut at Nottingham just a couple of weeks ago. Kept at the same trip for today she may well improve over further in time. She cost a hefty £77k at the sales but should start repaying some of that before too long. Tom Queally takes over from Andrea Atzeni in the saddle. Beautiful Diamond who beat her in that last race put up a great performance at Royal Ascot in the Queen Mary earlier in the week and with the form being well advertised she ought to make a bold bid to shirk off her maiden status.

17:47 Goodwood

Alba Longa (3/2) produced a career best effort when winning on her seasonal reappearance at Windsor last time out for a very much in form Ralph Beckett team. She has clearly thrived since being upped to this sort of trip and once again she has the assistance of Hector Crouch in the saddle. Despite a six-pound higher mark here, she looks the type to improve again and if she wins here expect her to be raised in grade next time.

18:22 Goodwood

La Pulga (11/8) got off the mark at the third time of asking this season when going in at Hamilton Park. He wasn’t beaten far on his subsequent start at Pontefract and he now takes a step back in class to try and get back to winning ways. Joe Fanning knows this four-year-old well and he is back in the saddle for an in form Charlie Johnston team. Up against rivals who struggle to get their heads in front, he could well prove the one they all have to beat.
