NAP: Prosperity (5:17 Goodwood)
Virgin Bet A Good Bet Fillies' Handicap, 1m 1f 197y, Good to Soft, 11 runners
Prosperity has won all three of her starts, and the form figures 111 are the cleanest in a field of eleven. She is the highest rated three-year-old in the race on 86, and only the eight-year-old Wisper (87) is rated higher.
Her last run came 22 days ago, so she is fresh without being short of a race, and K R Burke's filly has the most recent winning form of anything in the line-up. A handicap mark of 86 after three wins asks a fair question, but she has been going the right way each time and carries 9-11, level with the older Aequitas.
Main danger: Wisper has 51 career runs behind her and a mark only a pound higher, so the unbeaten record faces a proper test.
Next best: Crazee Icon (4:42 Goodwood)
Inkerman London Handicap, 1m, Good to Soft, 13 runners
Crazee Icon won her latest start and has three wins from twelve runs, with the form figures 251171 showing a filly in good heart. She runs off 8-12, the second lightest weight in the race, behind only Storming Point (8-7), while the top weight Cerulean Bay carries 10-0.
That is 16lb less than top weight Cerulean Bay (10-0, rated 102), against her own mark of 89. She has three wins from twelve runs, and at 29 days since her last run she should be fit.
Main danger: A 13-runner Goodwood handicap is deep, and older rivals such as Cerulean Bay (course and distance form) are proven at the track.
Each-way pick: Vanir (5:25 Naas)
SIS, Supporting Irish Racing Fillies Handicap, 1m 2f 149y, Soft, 11 runners
Vanir is a three-year-old filly rated 86, joint top of the ratings with Ankara, and she has made the frame in four of her six runs. The form figures 821382 show a win and three places, including a second and a third in her last three starts.
She ran only 13 days ago, so she is race fit, and the soft ground over 1m 2f 149y is a test she has the form to handle. At around the head of the ratings in an 11-runner handicap, an each-way play looks the sensible way to back her.
Main danger: Ankara and Apercu both hold similar ratings and Apercu has course and distance form.
