Goodwood 3.35

Goodwood 3.35 9 Sheikhzayedroad @ 10/1 / 8 Qewy @ 25/1 - both 1 point each way

(note Paddy Power offer - if favourite wins (Big Orange) you get FREE BET if your horse is placed)

The first thing to point out here is the offer from Paddy Power, IF the favourite (Big Orange) wins;
and you pick a placed horse, you get a FREE BET. It is not quite as good as it sounds as all Bookies pay odds only
t third place, so 2 places, but worth a punt with Paddy Power on this race if you have that option. BIG ORANGE
is a worthy favourite, but he had a very tough battle at Royal Ascot and would prefer there to be "no soft" in the Going
description. In the past few years he has consistently faced SHEIKHZAYEDROAD another favourite of ours, we backed
the pair in this race last year. The result usually goes to Big Orange but the Sheikh has beaten its rival a few times and
the word "soft" does give him a significant boost. At 10/1 and with the PP offer he is a cracking bet and if anything beats
this pair it wins. Pallasator completes a familiar trio and US Army Ranger will have support, Stradivarius is a dark horse
but at three may find this a bit too tough too soon; but the other one that I have a quiet fancy for is QEWY. A forgotten
horse who has become a bit of a globe-trotter, a few bits of form point to the 25/1 being very generous from Paddy Power
and it would not surprise me if it considerably out ran those odds, needed the run last time..
