Goodwood — 28 August 2026

Class 3 · 0m6f0y · Good To Firm · 6 ran

We passed. Likely winner: Motown Filly (5/6)

Won by: Gobby Grace (IRE) at 5/1 · then Motown Filly (IRE)

What we said: Motown Filly heads the market at 5/6 off the strength of a debut second, but she was well beaten (7/8) last time out and returns from a 64-day gap that this system flags as a genuine mild negative, not a positive to lean on; Cut And Sew and Queen Of Christmas both carry modest form figures with nothing in the book to separate them cleanly, and Gobby Grace is an unexposed newcomer with no data to price off. With the market leader carrying a caution rather than a clean case and the chasing pack too even to single one out, there's no bet here worth backing with real money.

Class 5 · 1m1f197y · Good To Firm · 13 ran

We passed. Likely winner: Hauteluce (4/1)

Won by: Kokoluna (GB) at 18/1 · then Alice De Clare (IRE), Brighton Beach (IRE)

What we said: Too many fillies arrive with genuine claims for a Class 5 handicap of this size: Hauteluce won last time and already holds a 1-3 record at today's exact trip, Brighton Beach steps up in trip off a smart course-and-distance-adjacent win for a red-hot Haggas yard, and Alice De Clare arrives with three wins from her last six including the latest start — none of them clearly better than the other at their prices. With Shady Bay also fitted with topweight and holding solid recent form, this is exactly the crowded, well-levelled handicap picture that doesn't produce a bet worth making.

Class 4 · 1m3f218y · Good To Firm · 9 ran

Our bet: Ammoony (11/4)

Won by: Kelly Burn (GB) at 9/2 · then Cracking Beauty (GB)

What we said: Her last four runs read 2-2-1-2, the most consistent profile in this field, and unlike several rivals here she already has a good-to-firm form line (2nd of 10) so the ground today is no gamble for her. She also carries the highest PR in the race, and the step up to today's trip fits a filly who's been finishing strongly rather than fading.

Class 4 · 0m5f0y · Good To Firm · 9 ran

We passed. Likely winner: Ruby's Profit (2/1)

Won by: Velvet Goldmine (IRE) at 13/2 · then Over Spiced (GB), Kiss And Run (GB)

What we said: Ruby's Profit heads the market on Goodwood form (course record 1-3 from two runs) and the sharpest gate speed of the field, but he shoulders 142lb in a race where Rogue Bullet (2nd last time, improving figures across five straight top-four finishes) and Brave Nation (won last start over C&D) both have legitimate claims at similar prices, and nothing separates the three cleanly enough to lean on one.

Class 5 · 0m6f0y · Good To Firm · 10 ran

Our bet: Veil Of Clouds (2/1)

Won by: Sound And Vision (IRE) at 100/30 · then Northcliff (IRE)

What we said: Rock-solid, improving form line (5-2-5-3-1) capped by a game win last time out over this same 6f trip, and the switch from standard to good-to-firm shouldn't trouble a Pinatubo filly with pace to burn. She's clearly the classiest sort in this Class 5 and the form is bang up to date, having run just 11 days ago.

Class 5 · 1m1f11y · Good To Firm · 10 ran

We passed. Likely winner: Kimeko Glory (5/2)

Won by: Beach Point (IRE) at 85/40F · then Kimeko Glory (GB)

What we said: Kimeko Glory heads the market off a last-time win and useful PR figures but her only run at this trip was a modest third, and she's up against Beach Point (fourth in a row without truly missing the frame) and Gone Rogue (also scored last time out); with three runners carrying genuine claims in an amateur-ridden handicap over an unfamiliar-for-her trip, there's no single case strong enough to back at the price on offer.
