Goodwood Race 3 - Maison Perrier Gordon Stakes (Group 3)
BAY OF BRILLIANCE (2) was eased when well held attempting the G1 Deutsches Derby on latest appearance. Previously finished 7.25L fourth in the G1 Derby following a neck second contesting the Lingfield Derby Trial. Proven trying 2400m and sets the standard. ENCELADUS (3) remains unbeaten this season after landing the King George V Stakes tackling 2400m at Ascot by 0.5L. Main danger. GERYON (1) recorded a decisive 3.25L G3 Meld Stakes success over 1800m most recently. Step up in trip gives him some appeal. SAHARA KING (5) finished 6L tenth in the Golden Gates Stakes. Earlier head second in the London Gold Cup reads better. Not discounted.

Most recently ran second last of 18 at Hamburg in the G1 Deutsches Derby on July 5 over 2400m, slow going 45 len behind Dardanos carrying 58kg at $3.40. The race before that made some head-way from midfield; 4th of 13 at Epsom Downs in the G1 The Derby on June 6 over 2400m, slow going 7 len behind Christmas Day with 58kg at $10. Key runner who is a great chance to atone.
