16.45 Goodwood: Artistic Muse @ 9/1 Betfred
Intriguing handicap, without too much class on offer despite the fact that this race is classed as a class 3 Handicap. Too many questions over the head of too many horses, which is the reason why a recent wide margin maiden winner - who however beat some extremely poor opposition - is the favourite here. Sure, Spiritoftheunion looked impressive when she slaughtered her rivals and it could well be that she has much more to offer from her opening mark, on the other hand the form isn't strong and she has to prove herself today. I'm happy to take her on. It could be stated that Jordan Princess is the class act in the field. A creditable runner-up behind Taghrooda back in May in Listed company is surly the strongest form on offer here today, however since then she seemed to have completely lost all the spark and the step up in trip gonna have to be the game changer for her. It's easy to oppose her on all that evidence with her short price in mind. Wihlana is a decent lto winner, might find this today a good deal more difficult though, particularly against the younger rivals with their WFO allowance.
Lightly raced Thurayaat seems not to be without talent, the trip is a worry though and I'm not confident enough to think that she stays thus far. Tioga Pass won impressively over course and distance in rainy conditions earlier this year, her mark was adjusted accordingly and she struggled subsequently. It remains to be seen if her current rating isn't a bit too much. Lady Cecil's Phaenomena ouldn't confirm the promise she showed as a three year old. She has to regain some old sparkle to be competitive today. Three year old Artistic Muse from the bottom of the weights won well at Ffos Las last time out on her first try over 12f. Lightly raced and unexposed, it is not impossible to see her improving further and despite a rise of 6lb in the mark, she makes some appeal, considering that she beat some decent rivals the last time. She seems a rather big price, taking all of that into consideration.
