A random handicap to start with and i"m looking at the lightweights for a surprise win.

2.35 Gordon Stakes
Platitude @5/1  3point win

at last a payout, Planetoid finished 5th at 66/1. Ladbrokes and Corals paid 5 places and I got on via my brother lol.
15.5 points profit minus 4 and minus 3 Platitude leaves 8.5 points then minus yesterday"s 9 point loss and it"s a whopping 0.5 point loss after two days of the festival.
Onwards to day3 with my fingers crossed lol.

28 July Goodwood Day3
2.00 10f hc
Ode to Evening @10/1  2point win
Abareeq @20/1  1point ew

OTE - obvious form at class two level and hard to see anything improving by him that"s been racing at the same level.
ABQ - yet to go beyond a mile and bottom weight. MJ smiles and puts his main man onboard from an inside draw. hmmmm 20/1 worthwhile taking a stab with imho.

2.35 Richmond Stakes
Mehmas @6/1  2point win
Ardad @16/1  1point win

well worth taking on Blue Point with a July Stakes winner who tracked a strong pace lto set by Yalta and Barrington. Ardad just didn"t settle on the day and is worth a punt at the current odds.

3.10 Goodwood Cup

I see you had a good day 3

it went my way till day4 Wayne when that luck in running was sadly lacking lol.
9.5points up for the festival and risking seven points on day5, so fingers crossed.

ended up +16 points for Goodwood to make it four on the bounce in the thread. 2013 +4, 2014 +53.6, 2015 +19.12, 2016 +16

I"m swerving the Shergar meet and tbh couldn"t find to much elsewhere.
So just the two races.

Spark Plug @14/1  1point win
Mister Universe @28/1  1point win

I"ve had the nieces visiting, 2yo, 6yo and 7yo. Two German Shepherds and three overactive girls do not help when you want to read the form lol.
So I managed to get the 3.05 sorted but not much else.

1.55 - Rainbow Mist, Danielsflyer and Stormy Clouds look ok. The latter from a low draw may have the best advantage of the three.

2.30 - Fair Eva is the obvious and of the rest Nations Alexander looks to big in the market imo likewise Kilmah.

3.40 - hard to see the winner not coming from either Found or Seventh Heaven. Queen´s Trust might be the Stoutey fly in the ointment depending on how well you think Minding ran lto at Goodwood.

4.00 Ebor hc
She is no Lady @8/1  2point win
Heartbreak City @9/1  2point win

Just concentrating on the main York hc"s.
The 2.15 Strensall Stakes Scottish and Diploma have claims but Tullius and Countermeasure at current odds aren"t bad bets imo.

3.25 Gimcrack - Blue Point is the obvious winner, Mubtasim could go well but I was nearly tempted to back Unabated and Grey Britain to place.

good luck today with your punting.
