Coral Handicap
5f 

Based on the system notes, Timewise ratings, and comments provided, here is a summary of the race and the top three picks:

Race Summary:

• The race is a Coral Handicap at Goodwood, with 14 runners.
• The distance is 5 furlongs (1100 yards) on good to soft ground.
• It is a Class 2 race for 4-year-olds and above, with a win prize of £30,924.

• The race will be run on the straight track with the stall positioning in the center.

Top Three Picks:

1. Raasel – The horse has a strong Timewise rating and has performed well this year, albeit not matching the excellence of his runs last summer. With a good record on soft ground and a fair effort at Ascot recently, Raasel has a strong chance based on his best form.
2. Vintage Clarets – This horse has shown good form recently, winning narrowly at Chester and performing well in a useful Ascot handicap. With a solid third-place finish in his last race, Vintage Clarets should be a contender in this race.
3. Acklam Express (IRE) – This horse has shown potential with three wins over 5 furlongs as a 2-year-old, including a win at this meeting. Despite some subsequent defeats, Acklam Express has run some strong races in defeat, including a third-place finish in the 2022 King’s Stand. With favorable conditions and experience on this track, Acklam Express could be in the mix.

Top Three Picks:

1. Array (IRE) – The horse has a strong Timewise rating and showed promise on debut at Newbury over 6 furlongs. He kept on well behind a promising winner, and the form has received a timely boost with the third-placed horse winning well at Ascot. Array is a major player in this race.
2. Havanagreattime (IRE) – This horse finished third at Windsor in his last race, where he had a wide trip. The winner of that race went on to finish seventh in the Coventry Stakes. With anticipated improvement, Havanagreattime should be in the mix.
3. Alaskan Gold (IRE) – Despite finishing third on debut at Nottingham, Alaskan Gold is expected to take a step forward in this race. He raced up with the leaders before weakening and should benefit from the experience. The horse has potential and could be a contender.

Analysis:

2. Lord Protector (GER) – This horse has performed well in recent races, winning convincingly at Sandown and confirming good form. It has won on soft ground and has a good chance of being one of the top contenders.
3. Soto Sizzler – While not as high on the total score, this horse has shown good performances on good or quicker ground. It is 7lb lower than its rating last year and could be a contender for a revival.

Nicholson Gin Vintage Stakes (Group 2)
7f

Based on the provided system notes, Timewise ratings, and comments, here is the analysis and top 3 picks for the 3.25 Goodwood Nicholson Gin Vintage Stakes (Group 2):

Analysis:

1. Haatem (IRE) – This horse has solid form credentials, finishing fifth in a competitive Coventry Stakes and performing well in the Group 2 Superlative Stakes. He has a good chance of being one of the main contenders in this race.
2. Golden Mind (IRE) – The half-brother to the stable’s top-class Perfect Power, Golden Mind, showed promise when finishing third in the Listed Chesham at Royal Ascot. He has more to offer and should handle the forecast slower surface, making him a tempting option.
3. Iberian (IRE) – With an impressive debut success at Newbury, Iberian has shown promise. However, there is a nagging concern due to his withdrawal from the Group 2 Superlative Stakes due to wet weather. If he performs well, he could be a strong contender.

Top 3 Picks:

1. Haatem (IRE)
2. Golden Mind (IRE)
3. Iberian (IRE)

4.00 Goodwood (8 runners)
World Pool Lennox Stakes (Group 2)
7f 

Based on the provided system notes, Timewise ratings, and comments, here is the analysis and top 3 picks for the 4.00 Goodwood World Pool Lennox Stakes (Group 2):

Analysis:

1. Kinross – With an impressive record on softer ground and a notable hat-trick last autumn, including Group 1 wins over 7f and 6f, Kinross is a strong contender. His recent third-place finish in the July Cup shows that he retains plenty of ability, and he has a good chance of winning this race again, having won it in 2021.
2. Al Suhail – Back in top form at Meydan earlier this year, including a win in a Group 2 over 7f, Al Suhail can’t be dismissed despite a below-par performance at Royal Ascot. With a good record on the ground, he remains competitive and is a serious contender.
3. Audience – 2-2 since being gelded and fitted with a hood, Audience has shown consistent form and is open to further improvement. With solid wins in useful handicaps and the Criterion Stakes, he represents a threat to the other contenders in this race.

Top 3 Picks:

1. Kinross
2. Al Suhail
3. Audience

4.35 Goodwood (11 runners)
Al Shaqab Goodwood Cup Stakes (Group
1) (British Champions Series)
2m

Based on the provided system notes, Timewise ratings, and comments, here is the analysis and top 3 picks for the 4.35 Goodwood Al Shaqab Goodwood Cup Stakes (Group 1) race:

Analysis:

1. Courage Mon Ami – Unbeaten and rapidly improving, Courage Mon Ami has been gelded after winning two AW races last autumn. He followed up with impressive wins in a handicap and the Ascot Gold Cup, beating several of today’s rivals. Given his rapid progress and unbeaten record, he promises to be a long-term top stayer and is a major contender in this race.
2. Emily Dickinson (IRE) – This Ballydoyle filly has shown particularly progressive form on testing ground, with excellent results on soft/heavy conditions, most recently winning the Curragh Cup just ten days ago. If the ground is in her favor, she should be a serious threat.
3. Coltrane (IRE) – Still progressing at the age of six, Coltrane won the Sagaro in great style on his reappearance and finished a close second in the Ascot Gold Cup, narrowly missing out to Courage Mon Ami. With a solid record on good to firm and good to soft ground, he is a major contender for this race.

Top 3 Picks:

1. Courage Mon Ami
2. Emily Dickinson (IRE)
3. Coltrane (IRE)

5.35 Goodwood (13 runners)
World Pool British EBF Fillies Handicap
6f

Based on the provided information, here is an analysis of the race and my top three picks:

Analysis:

• The race is a British EBF Fillies Handicap, a Class 3 race, to be run over 6 furlongs on Good To Soft ground.
• There are 13 runners in the race, and the average Official Rating (OR) is 86, with the median OR being 87.
• The stall positioning for this race is on the Stands Side.
• The race features a mix of horses in terms of recent form, with some maintaining a high level of performance, while others have not been in top form recently.
• Horses like Kitai (IRE), Sophias Starlight (FR), Funny Story, and Candle Of Hope have been performing well and have good speed and jockey/trainer statistics.

Top 3 Picks:

1. Kitai (IRE): This filly has been in excellent form, easily winning over 7 furlongs at Carlisle on soft ground and impressing over 6 furlongs at Pontefract in good conditions. Her recent form and strong performances against male opposition make her a top pick for this race.
2. Sophias Starlight (FR): With four wins in her last seven starts, all from the front, she has been in great form. Being able to grab the stands’ rail from stall 13 will be advantageous. Her affinity for good to soft ground makes her a strong contender.
3. Funny Story: Despite not being at her best in the last outing over 5 furlongs, Funny Story remains a horse with potential. Her previous wins on good to firm ground and the distance of 6 furlongs suggest she could perform better in this race if conditions suit her.
