Goldinthesea Aims for a Winning Debut at Southwell

Wednesday evening promises to be an exciting one with competitive racing at Southwell, broadcast live on Sky Sports Racing. The Come Racing For Free 18th June Novice Stakes is set to be a thrilling encounter, featuring three talented but unexposed colts. Goldinthesea, having recently switched from Joseph O'Brien's yard to Ed Bethell's, is an intriguing runner. His impressive performance at Dundalk in January has been bolstered by the third-place finisher's subsequent win, suggesting a promising future for this son of No Nay Never under new connections. Penny Time, trained by Hugo Palmer, is another exciting contender, having convincingly won at Southwell last month and aiming for his third consecutive win. Owen Burrows' Sassicaia, with only one start under his belt, a win at Wolverhampton in December, remains an unknown quantity with significant potential. Debutant Shadow Boxer, representing Victorious Forever and costing €520,000, will have the market providing more insight into his capabilities. In another competitive race, the Ladies Day Sunday 16th August Fillies' Handicap, three recent winners face off. Cool Molly, with a three-pound increase after her win at Lingfield, is a respected contender, having achieved her third career win and second in her last three starts. Vencedora, carrying the Sheikh Mohammed Obaid colours and trained by Karl Burke, is lightly raced and makes her seasonal debut after a first win at Newmarket in September. Rogue Citation, with a similar profile to Vencedora, comes into the race with only two starts, her last being a win here in October. The finale of the evening features Seven Fires attempting to complete a hat-trick in the Summer Socials At Southwell Racecourse Fillies' Handicap. 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, with only two starts, seeks to return to winning form after a close second at Kempton, while Zighy, having recently gotten off the mark, could prove even better. The evening's racing also includes Betelgeuse seeking another course and distance win at 6:30 at Southwell, and action from Happy Valley with notable jockeys Zac Purton, Harry Bentley, Hugh Bowman, and Andrea Atzeni in action.
