Goodwood Race 2 - Hkjc World Pool Thoroughbred Stakes (Group 3)
TALK OF NEW YORK (6) is back in grade after an excellent 1.75L third in the G1 1600m St James's Palace Stakes at Royal Ascot last month. Looked progressive securing two wins before that and could be better than this level. Strong form and might be hard to stop. SHAYEM (5) deserves a shot at G3 level after a dominant Listed win in the 1600m Sir Henry Cecil Stakes at Newmarket. On the rise and rates a key player. SABER STRIKE (4) is interesting with blinkers added for the first time. Decent 2.5L third attempting the G3 Criterion Stakes at York last month over 1400m. Up in trip. YAZIN (7) finished behind the main selection in the 1600m Listed Heron Stakes at Sandown. Chance if bouncing back.

Returns from a 41-day let-up. Most recently 7th of 16 at Ascot in the G3 Jersey Stakes on June 20 over 1400m, 7 len behind Thesecretadversary carrying 58.5kg at $15. The race before that 3rd of 8 at Sandown Park in the LR Heron Stakes on May 28 over 1600m, 6 len behind Talk Of New York with 59.5kg at $9. Likely to find this out of reach.
