For today's horse racing tips, our analyst James Boyle looks at the flat racing meeting at Goodwood, with two selections now online.
As always, you’ll find the most up-to-date odds at the best horse racing betting sites, but our tipster’s predictions are researched early in the day and those prices could soon be moved in by the betting public. Odds stated are correct at the time of publishing.
13:50 Goodwood – French Duke – 1pt @ 3/1
No prizes for originality in siding with French Duke but I still feel he’s on a very good mark despite Royal Ascot not panning out to suit. The ride he got there was mediocre, he took a strong hold throughout and didn’t truly look streetwise enough to compete at that level.
The run shouldn’t be lost on him and it was his first go in a handicap after a trio of attempts in novice company. A hood goes on for the first time, which may help him to relax early on, and I’m hoping they’ll try to settle him further forward in the field today instead of holding him up.
It’s obviously another hot handicap, but the field size being much smaller will be a help and I don’t think many of them are obviously thrown-in off their marks. Plenty could improve, but he looks the best prospect to me and hopefully it’ll be fifth time lucky on the track.
15:00 Goodwood – The Man – 1pt e/w @ 33/1
The Man may or may not be up to this level, it’s hard to figure him out at this point, but it’s clear that he has no shortage of pace and is better than his run in the Norfolk suggests. He finished second from last on that occasion, but was in receipt of a very inefficient ride.
Hollie Doyle may have been wary that the far side group were in the best position, but the horse tanked towards the front of his group a long way out and was doing far too much. He was legless late on and strikes me as the type who could offer so much more if his energy is conserved.
Now, Jamie Spencer is taking over in the saddle and I assume that’ll yield a quiet ride towards the back. It’s hard to know, but there’s far more chance of him bridging the gap to be competitive against this calibre of opposition if he’s smuggled into a race for one late run.
This track will play to his strengths a lot better as well and, although I’d have preferred a higher draw than two, he is 33/1 generally and that accounts for plenty of the risk attached. He has a lot of talent and if it can be harnessed in the right way, he may be able to threaten this field.
