Goodwood Race 2 - Coral Vintage Stakes (Group 2)
Winner of the G2 Superlative Stakes last month AL HUDAIBA (1) can strike here. Held off a noted performer by a short-head to strike over 1400m at Newmarket and sets a strong standard on form. With huge potential to improve further appears good enough to defy a penalty. HAFFNER (3) is the top contender of trainer Aidan O'Brien. Progressed from debut second when a 1.5L Newmarket novice winner over 1400m. Should have much more to offer. Key contender. PIKACHU (4) was third behind the main selection in the Superlative Stakes. Only beaten 1.25L so not too much to find and is considered. DR RASCAL (2) remains unbeaten in two starts. Goes up in grade and one of the main chances.

Looking to keep his unbeaten record intact. When well in the market on debut, favourite; tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by 2 len at Salisbury June 9 over 1200m in soft going defeating Green Titan with 60.5kg at $1.80. Last time out favourite; won by 3.5 len at Salisbury July 11 over 1400m defeating Avionics with 61kg at $1.80. Worth a market check.
