Goodwood 5.55

Goodwood 5.55  8 Vale Of Kent ~ 15/2  / 2 Masham Star ~ 12/1 - each way


The Johnson yard is synonymous with this Festival and in Vale Of Kent and Masham Star he has two outstanding contenders in this tight handicap. Vale of Kent ran well here in May and will have been targeted at this race and collateral form since ties up very well indicating that despite an excellent season it is still on a competitive mark. I think they have been hiding the mark of Masham Star a little, and also running over a mile, which stretches its stamina. This 7 furlong trip is ideal, Course form s in the locker and not hard to see this one making them all play "catch up" in to the final furlong. Medahim and the other Johnston runner Poets Society (inexperienced apprentice booked otherwise would have been a tip); are the biggest dangers.


Finally, my own little take and MENTION in that race, despite a wide draw, which was not a bad place to be at times yesterday; I think the Marcus Tregonning and Hayley Turner ridden SIR TITAN could be worth a small investment, has a Course and Distance win, in great form and ground comes all alike and off a mark of 91, should still have scope to be very competitive and it they go off too quickly and traffic issues near far rail. high, wide and handsome, may be the golden highway.
