9.05 Goodwood Freddy With A Y 7/1 I tipped up Gary Moore's 4 year old when winning at 18/1 last month and I think he has a very good chance of following up off a 7lb higher mark today. Progressive in 3 starts as a 2 year old which culminated with him winning on his final Juvenile start, this unexposed 3 year old made his handicap debut off a mark of 77 at Windsor when he was clearly out to blow away the cobwebs as his traditional front running tactics were not employed as he was dropped out the rear but he landed his 2nd win of his career on his 5th start on the racecourse with an impressive victory at Salisbury last month off a mark of 75. Under tonight's jockey George Baker, Freddy With A Y made great use of his low draw in stall 4 to make virtually all and score by a comfortable enough 0.5L from the reopposing Extrasolar with the front pair nearly 3L clear of the remainder of the field. Extrasolar has franked that form when winning a Maiden on his next start comfortably before being defied by a head off a 5lb higher mark of 79 (which he races off tonight) in a handicap at Kempton 9 days ago as the front two were well clear of the field. Other horses in behind have also franked that form and it looks looks like he ran out a convincing winner of a pretty decent contest. Freddy With A Y is only 2lb worse off for beating Extrasolar given that horse's subsequent exploits which I don't think will be enough to reverse the form and Gary Moore's charge is still very unexposed with only 5 starts to date in his career. He's been given a fantastic berth in stall 2 tonight which should be ideal for his front running tactics and given that Goodwood is a course that is conducive to front runners I think he'll be well suited by the sharp undulating course. A horse clearly on the upgrade, I'm very surprised to see such a big price available about him and I think he's got a really good chance of landing this contest if getting to the front and acting on the track.
Sennockian Star looks to have agood shout in the next at goodwood been in the frame in his last few runs including a win LTO, can he pull off a trademark Johnston front run, £10 at 9/2 says yes
I think the Freddy With A Y/Extrasolar form lines look so strong that I'm having a decent go on the RFC at 34/1
Cant believe i missed a) to put up and b) to back goodwood mirage been waiting for him to come out and with frankie onboard 5/1 was a sreal
