Goodwood Race 2

Fitzdares Apprentice Fillies' Restricted Novice Stakes (Gbb Race)

Stake: $44,280

VENETIAN GOLD (2) Landed the spoils when winning by 1L last run at Kempton but rising in weight. Will be in the finish. AFRAJ (1) Resumes from a 27 week spell. Rocketed home when winning last start at Chelmsford and having second career run. Recent form of the yard is strong. Will give a big sight. PODDLE PARK (6) 3yo first starter sired by Study Of Man for Michael Bell and can save some energy from the stall. Watch the market. MATILDA JOSLYNGAGE (5) Ran 4th last time at Leopardstown but will appreciate the drop in class. Should muster plenty of early toe. Will be around the mark at odds.
