5:55 Goodwood Tips

This trainer/jockey combination have an excellent record here. Runner-up on handicap debut last time out. Must have a big shout here

Zen Diva is on a roll having won both her races this season and last time at Salisbury won by five and a half lengths and looks ahead of the handicapper still.

3yos had a great record in this before 4yos claimed the last two runnings however I think Gold Digger can do it for the younger horses. She had some good form as a juvenile, finishing 6th in the Albany on just her second start before missing the rest of the season. She won on reappearance at 1/5 before finishing 9th the Palace of Holyrood over 5f and 6th in a Group 3 at Sandown again over the minimum trip. 6f will I think suit her better and a mark of 92 looks potentially generous for a horse with Group form. Stable reach for cheekpieces and a tongue tie which might eke out a bit more and the draw shouldn't be an issue with pace spread throughout.

A bit hit and miss, but landed a handicap last time with relative ease and looked to have something left under the hood. That was done in a fairly swift time too, and a couple of horses in behind have placed since to put some sort of gloss on the form. It's a fairly rare outing at Goodwood for Bethel who has placed with 5 of his last 9 runners here a 3lb rise for that latest win looks lenient, and she could go well off a nice weight carry and rattling pace here.

Ed Walker has used the very talented apprentice, Ashley Lewis, to great effect this season, and he is trusted with Secret History in this tough-looking handicap. The filly won at Newmarket last time and goes up four pounds for that win. The jockey is able to claim five pounds, effectively leaving her on a lesser mark than the Newmarket race. She appears to be improving rapidly just now and looks a value bet at 10/1.

Five career runs for the 3yo filly, two wins, one of those over this C/D last Oct. She was a smart handicap winner two weeks ago. Slowly away and 2L at the rear behind the pack at halfway, she picked up nicely but had to come round all the runner to challenge and it was an easy length win in the end. It was a first run after an eight month break and she looks like a very nice prospect.

Top stable clearly have one in form here so even though this is a step up for PARADISE WALK, it might be one that she can be capable of making.

This filly has been running consistently well without winning of late. Tends to go well under today's jockey, runs from a fair mark, and is effective on good to firm. Each-way chance at good odds.

Selected for her strong travelling style and quality sprint form. She has shown she can hold a position early before producing a finishing effort, while her experience on Newmarket's straight course provides confidence that she has the class and cruising speed required for a race of this nature.

​Ben Haslam's four-year-old filly is a distance winner who lines up in the closing 6-furlong handicap off a rating of 86. While her recent form figures look quiet on paper, she has dropped to a mark well within her capabilities and has shown in the past that she can unleash a potent finish when given a strong pace to aim at. Partnered by Andrew Mullen, she provides substantial double-digit each-way value if the race turns into a late sprint setup.

WOOHOO is judged to have weakened just once, across nineteen races for Jim Goldie. That is remarkable so although many may think she is a 5f mare, she has actually won both her 6f races for the stable, both by clear margins. A high stall may not be great, but if it does prove beneficial, it is not difficult to foresee this consistent mare running on into the money.
