Goodwood Race 3

Hkjc World Pool Gordon Stakes (Group 3)

Prize Money: $369,003

MERCHANT (2) might have something to find on official ratings however looks progressive and could prove equal to the task. Represents a yard in form while looked useful picking up strongly to claim a competitive handicap tackling this trip at Royal Ascot last time. Danger may come from WIMBLEDON HAWKEYE (6) who is trained by James Owen and did well to finish runner-up in a muddling G2 Princess Of Wales's Stakes at Newmarket (July). Respect. RAHIEBB (3) holds solid claims dropping back to 2400m following a solid third-place finish in the G2 Queen's Vase at Royal Ascot. GALVESTON (1) cannot be ignored.

Chasing a hat-trick. Comes off a 42 day let-up. Most recently favourite; won by 1.0 len at Ascot June 19 over 2410m defeating Serious Contender with 59kg at $4. The run before that favourite; won by 2.5 len at York May 15 over 2400m defeating Rahiebb with 56kg at $3.50. Well placed. In form and looks a top chance.

Racing well recently. Comes here off a 43-day let-up. At the latest run 3rd of 13 at Ascot in the G2 Queen's Vase on June 18 over 2800m, 1.0 len behind Carmers carrying 58kg at $10. The race before that tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 8 at York on May 15 over 2400m, 2.5 len behind Merchant carrying 60kg at $6.50. Hard to beat on his latest effort.

Last start second last in a small field at Sandown Park on July 24 over 2800m, 8 len behind Tarriance with 62kg at $11. The run before that eased back early on 9th of 13 at Ascot in the G2 Queen's Vase on June 18 over 2800m, 6 len behind Carmers with 58kg at $67. Likely to find this out of reach.

Last start favourite; tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by a nose at Sandown Park LR Gala Stakes July 4 over 2000m defeating Caviar Heights with 56.5kg at $2.50. The start before that second last of 7 at Ascot in the G1 St. James's Palace Stakes on June 17 over 1600m, 10 len behind Field Of Gold carrying 58kg at $81. Not to be underestimated.

Expected Settling Position: Leader
