Goldinthesea Aims for a Winning Debut at Southwell

Wednesday evening brings exciting All-Weather racing from Southwell, broadcast live on Sky Sports Racing. The Come Racing For Free 18th June Novice Stakes promises to be a thrilling event, featuring three inexperienced yet promising colts. Goldinthesea, having recently switched to Ed Bethell's yard from Joseph O'Brien's, is an intriguing contender. His impressive performance at Dundalk in January has been reinforced by the third-place finisher's subsequent win, suggesting a bright future for this No Nay Never son under new management. Penny Time, trained by Hugo Plamer, is another exciting prospect, having convincingly won at Southwell last month. Owen Burrows' Sassicaia, with only one start under his belt, remains an unknown quantity with potential for growth. Debutant Shadow Boxer, representing Victorious Forever, cost €520,000 and will be closely watched, with the market likely to reveal more about his abilities. Another competitive race this evening is the Ladies Day Sunday 16th August Fillies' Handicap, where three recent winners face off. Cool Molly, having won the All-Weather Vase Fillies' Handicap at Lingfield 12 days ago, is up three pounds and commands respect with two wins from her last three starts. Vencedora, carrying the famous Sheikh Mohammed Obaid colors, is lightly raced and unexposed, having won for the first time in a three-runner race at Newmarket in September. Rogue Citation, with a similar profile to Vencedora, comes into this race having only run twice, with her only win being her last outing in October. It will be interesting to see how these fillies have wintered and if they can challenge the race-fit Cool Molly. The evening concludes with the Summer Socials At Southwell Racecourse Fillies' Handicap, where Seven Fires attempts to secure a hat-trick in just her fifth career start. With two versatile wins at Newcastle, she steps back up to six furlongs and is expected to be tough to beat. Top-rated Barefoot Beach, having only run twice, aims to bounce back from her last defeat at Kempton, where she showed promise despite losing. Zighy, having recently secured her first win, could yet prove to be even better, having never finished outside the top three in all five of her starts.
