Goodwood 3:45PM

Maiden Stakes | Flat | 6f

Going: Good to Firm

Verdict

With his step back down in class and back up in distance, another chance is given to SAVAGE MARINER whose debut form reads well. Launch Sequence, who caught the eye at Doncaster, is second pick ahead of Agrippa who ties in with that rival. A few of the others with experience have possibilities and help to make this a competitive maiden. Major Looktwice is the shortlist suggestion among the newcomers, about whom the market signals should offer further guidance.[Steve Boow]

Group 2 Gimcrack entry; very promising and eye-catching third of 11 in novice event (6f, good to firm) at Doncaster, finishing nicely under hands and heels once switched and in the clear (met traffic issues); respected.

Similar type to Dorigo, having belied his 125-1 odds with a seemingly good effort over 6f at Royal Ascot (seventh of 21 in the Coventry) last time; hung right that day and gelded since.

Holds two major Group entries; solid second, behind the subsequent Albany winner, at Leicester; combination of drop to 5f and meeting trouble seemingly contributed to a poor effort at Royal Ascot; remains of interest.

Finished 6l seventh in Listed event at Newbury (6f, good to firm; 66-1) where he was the sole newcomer in a field of ten; interesting dropped in class, with improvement plausible.

Ties in with Launch Sequence on debut effort; neck second to unbeaten rival, pair clear, when favourite at Newbury (6f, good to firm) since; may take another step forward; major contender.

Twice-raced colt who holds a respectable chance assuming latest effort, namely 125-1 seventh of 25 from unfavourable draw in the Windsor Castle (6f) at Royal Ascot, is backed up.

Twice-raced colt whose opening mark of 71 reflects that his form claims are ordinary kept to maiden level today, rather than switching to a nursery; looked ill at ease on the Epsom track last time.

55,000gns yearling; by Dark Angel and first foal of 6f AW 2yo winner (RPR 73) whose siblings include 7f/1m 2yo scorer Starlight Time; starts off in a competitive maiden; check the betting.

Showed ability by leading for long way in big-field event at Newbury (6f, good to firm; finished fifth) but the bare form gives him plenty to find in this festival maiden.

Showed some promise with fourth of 11 at Thirsk (6f) and may be able to win a race, perhaps in the north; however, has a lot to find in this warm maiden, sent down south.

Has some ability but his two efforts suggest nurseries will be more suitable shortly; certainly needs improvement in this deep maiden.

Made no impact in 7f contest at Sandown where he was one of the outsiders; handicaps are likely to be his thing in due course.
