Having won a 1m 2f Chelmsford novice and a 1m 4f Haydock handicap, Alan King's three-year-old was then third in a useful handicap back over 1m 2f at Newmarket on his most recent outing this month, being found out by the shorter trip but still running well. Selection: Kurakka 1pt win @ 7/1 with Betfred Go to site > 1.55 Goodwood – Oak Tree Stakes (Group 3, 7f; ITV1 & Racing TV) JABAARA was first past the post in this race last year but was subsequently disqualified for causing interference, however she ought to go well again. Roger Varian's four-year-old filly can be excused a below-par run behind Cloud Cover at Chelmsford last time out as she made a lot of the early running from a wide draw. But before that she had won a Listed race at Musselburgh. 2.30 Goodwood – Molecomb Stakes (Group 3, 5f; ITV1 & Racing TV) LADY IMAN was beaten into second as the 8/15 favourite in a Group 2 contest at the Curragh last time out, but that was over 6f and she didn't see the trip out after travelling easily. She had won her three previous starts, including a 5f Listed race at the Curragh in which True Love finished second, albeit that one was making her debut and has since won twice at Group 2 level. Lady Iman did win over 6f on her third start, in a Group 3 race at Naas, defeating subsequent Group 2 winner Green Sense. But this drop back in distance looks like playing to her strengths. Selection: Lady Iman 1pt win @ 6/4 with Betfred If you already have a Betfred account and are looking for a new bookmaker to use on this week's racing, check out more free bets from the best betting sites, reviewed by our experts 3.05 Goodwood – Sussex Stakes (Group 1, 1m; ITV1 & Racing TV) Is FIELD OF GOLD a good thing? The one worry is that this track might not be ideal for the John and Thady Gosden-trained three-year-old, who might prefer a flatter course than Goodwood. It was only three starts ago that he got caught out by the undulations of Newmarket, getting outpaced off a steady gallop and running on too late when second in the 2,000 Guineas. However, he has since shown himself to be top class with uber-impressive victories in the Irish 2,000 Guineas and the St James's Palace Stakes at Royal Ascot, so there's no opposing a horse who simply has tons of natural ability. 3.45 Goodwood – Class 2 Fillies' Handicap (1m 2f; ITV1 & Racing TV) There should still be better to come from the William Haggas-trained WONDER STAR. This daughter of Sea The Stars won an Ascot maiden over this trip in decent style on her seasonal reappearance. She flopped eight days later in a Listed race at Newbury, but it says something that she was pitched into that level so soon and, 74 days on, she's potentially capable of better with a handicap mark of 82 looking workable. 4.20 Goodwood – Class 2 Fillies' Conditions Stakes (5f; Racing TV) This can go to ZELAINA (NAP), who cost £650,000 in April and won a Nottingham maiden on her debut in June. It's her next start that makes her of particular interest, as she showed so much speed in the 5f Group 2 Queen Mary Stakes at Royal Ascot, leading early before fading to finish eighth of 23. Down in class and on a less demanding track, she should be hard to live with today. 4.55 Goodwood – Class 3 Handicap (7f; Racing TV) It has taken a little while for DEFENCE MINISTER to find his form this year, but he was an encouraging second at Sandown on his latest outing and looks capable of building on that. His connections felt he was good enough for the Group 1 Middle Park Stakes last year. He found the company a bit tough and may have been unsuited by soft ground in finishing last of the six runners. But he's going the right way again now and this big-field contest should suit his strong-travelling style. Stall 12 is slightly wider than ideal but not a disaster. The final pointer is that James Doyle, retained rider for Wathnan Racing, has seemingly picked him over the owner's other two runners, who look to have fair claims from lower draws.
