Goldinthesea Aims for Winning Debut at Southwell

Wednesday evening brings thrilling All-Weather racing action from Southwell, broadcast live on Sky Sports Racing. The Come Racing For Free 18th June Novice Stakes is set to be an exhilarating contest, featuring three promising colts. Goldinthesea, having recently transferred from Joseph O'Brien's to Ed Bethell's stable, is an intriguing contender. He delivered an impressive performance at Dundalk in January, with the third-place finisher going on to win subsequently, suggesting a bright future for this No Nay Never son under new connections. Penny Time, trained by Hugo Plamer, is a highly exciting prospect, having dominated at Southwell last month and seeking his third consecutive win. Owen Burrows' Sassicaia has only raced once, winning at Wolverhampton in December, and remains an unknown quantity with potential for growth. Debutant Shadow Boxer, representing Victorious Forever, cost €520,000, and the market will reveal more about this colt. Another competitive event is the Ladies Day Sunday 16th August Fillies' Handicap, where three recent winners clash. Cool Molly, up three pounds after winning the All-Weather Vase Fillies' Handicap at Lingfield, is a respected contender. Vencedora, carrying Sheikh Mohammed Obaid's colors, has a different profile, being lightly raced and unexposed for Karl Burke, and makes her first start of the season after a win at Newmarket in September. Rogue Citation, representing The Rogues Gallery, has a similar profile to Vencedora, having only run twice, with her only win coming last time out at Southwell. It will be fascinating to see how these fillies have wintered and if they can challenge the race-fit Cool Molly. The evening concludes with Seven Fires attempting to complete a hat-trick in the Summer Socials At Southwell Racecourse Fillies' Handicap. With two wins at Newcastle, showcasing her versatility, she steps back up to six furlongs and is expected to be tough to beat. Top-rated Barefoot Beach, having only run twice, seeks to rebound from a close second at Kempton, while Zighy, who recently broke her maiden, could yet prove better. Additionally, 6.30 Southwell features Betelgeuse seeking another course and distance win, and notable jockeys Zac Purton, Harry Bentley, Hugh Bowman, and Andrea Atzeni are in action at Happy Valley.
