Goodwood Race 4

Goodwood Horseracing Club Membership Maiden Stakes (Gbb/Gbbplus Race)

Stake: $29,889

WAY OF STARS (7) holds plenty of racecourse experience placing four times out of six including a second at Chester two starts ago. Can bounce back. EARNEST BELIEF (3) improved from a fourth at Salisbury before a sixth at Haydock Park. Needs to provide more. MOON CHIME (2) delivers first outing in this discipline following a successful spell jumping. Interesting. MAJESTIC LEO (6) wears first-time cheekpieces and might secure a placing.

Most recently favourite; won by 4.5 len at Market Rasen June 13 over 4300m defeating Smugglers Haven with 71kg at $1.80. The start before that 2nd in a small field at Fakenham on June 1 over 4200m, 1.75 len behind Hurricane Bay carrying 69.5kg at $1.60. Winning form is hard to knock but he is back in trip and might struggle.

Second-up. Comes off a 55-day let-up. First-up after five months second last of 10 at Leicester on April 26 over 2000m, 17 len behind Skimmer carrying 56.5kg at $8. Previously second-up 3rd of 11 at Lingfield All Weather on November 21 over 2000m, 4 len behind Sea Scout with 60.5kg at $4.20. Will benefit from that run and is sure to be thereabouts.

Form hard to fault. Most recently 4th of 10 at Doncaster on June 7 over 2920m, 2 len behind Many Men with 57.5kg at $8. The run before that 2nd of 7 at Chester on May 8 over 2500m, 1.0 len behind Lady Vivian carrying 61kg at $3.80. Nicely placed and gets his chance to bounce back.
