today's lays are....

master of war                     2.45 goodwood                 2nd @ 3.8

right then lets get stuck straight into the goodwood card today kicking off with this chestnut son of compton place,to start with not really anything to get excited about in the breeding stakes & his sire has struggled in recent times producing performers in the late 50's early 60 marks.he holds an entry in the 7f champagne stakes & certainly looks like he will need a step up in trip after winning a very "hollow" listed race LTO.
the ground was bottomless that day & he didnt do anything quickly,but at the same time he didnt need to as the opposition was floundering in the mud.he was the stable second string that day & i cant help but feel that he's way down the pecking order of hannon's juvenile team & at likely cramped odds is well worth taking on on this livelier ground & against much stronger opposition.


today's PLACE lays are....

opinion                             2.15 goodwood                  unpl @ 2.9

im taking a form line with this horse literally & this should see him well beaten off todays mark of 90,he won LTO in a C3 at sandown & needed the drop in grade IMO to get his head in front after finishing 5th here beaten over 5L by grandeur,he does have a weight pull today but he was quite simply "outclassed" that day & after having the run of the race under ryan moore he weakened quite noticeably in the final furlong,a doubtful stayer,question marks over the ground & a much stronger race make up into a confident place lay for me.
