Goodwood Race 5

Virgin Bet Ebf Novice Stakes (Gbb/Gbbplus Race)

Prize Money: $36,900

ROYAL ACCLAMATION (4) was top two past three attempts including when following home the winner over 1600m at Haydock Park after racing prominently throughout. Faces tougher opposition but brings enough quality to compete. IRON CURTAIN (3) made an encouraging start at Salisbury tackling 1600m. Finished 1.5L second and is open to significant improvement. May get involved again. DONEGAN (1) had an immediate impact on debut winning over 1600m at Kempton Park. Can build on that success and remains one to follow. BUNDABERG (2) was third trying 2000m here latest beaten 2.5L. Drops into easier company.

Recent form sound. Last start 2nd in a small field at Haydock Park on September 26 over 1600m, on heavy track; 0.8 len behind Game Character with 55kg at $3. Before that came from midfield; 2nd of 7 at this track on September 8 over 1600m, on a slow track; 1.0 len behind Quicken Away carrying 60.5kg at $12. Sure to be about the money again.
