Megan Nicholls Racing Preview: Glorious Goodwood Day 2 Tips

WEDNESDAY RACING TIPS

Goodwood 1.20 – 1m4f Handicap

I’m very keen on the chances of Sudu (5/1), who absolutely bolted up at Epsom last time by seven lengths.

He should have won prior to that at Newbury on his handicap debut, where he met with no luck in running.

He’s a big horse who has needed a bit of time to fully come to himself and this looks his optimum trip.

I expect Roger Varian’s runner to be competing in much better races than this later on in the season and, if I’m right, he looks very well-treated off a mark of 86.

I know connections think plenty of him so I’m pretty strong on his chances.

Megan’s Tip: Sudu WIN

Goodwood 1.55 – Oak Tree Stakes

In the Oak Tree, I like the look of Romantic Style (11/2).

I was impressed by her when I saw her out in Dubai and I think connections have her running over her optimum trip of seven furlongs now.

She looks a classy filly to me – this looks a pretty good opportunity to get her head in front.

Megan’s Tip: Romantic Style WIN

Goodwood 2.30 – Molecomb Stakes

Lady Iman (11/8 fav) is a filly I’ve followed for quite some time and she looks a very solid favourite here.

She is very talented and I was shocked she was beaten at the Curragh last time, although it was by a well-regarded Coolmore filly.

Lady Iman drops back to five furlongs, which should be ideal, and I expect her to be another winner for outstanding first-season sire Starman.

Megan’s Tip: Lady Iman WIN

Goodwood 3.05 – Sussex Stakes

Field Of Gold (2/5 fav) is clearly the one to beat.

He does take on his elders for the first time, though, and the likes of Rosallion (4/1) and Docklands (20/1) are very tough horses.

Field Of Gold will need to improve again but I do think this is a horse that has it all.

Crucially, at Goodwood he has that high cruising speed so I’m hoping we’ll see a big performance from him again.

Megan’s Tip: Field Of Gold WIN
