Goldinthesea Aims for Victory in Southwell Debut
Wednesday evening promises 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 joined Ed Bethell's stable from Joseph O'Brien's yard, is an intriguing contender. He demonstrated impressive form 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 another exciting prospect, having dominated at Southwell last month and seeking a third consecutive win. Owen Burrows' Sassicaia, with only one start under his belt, a winning debut at Wolverhampton in December, remains an enigma with potential for growth. Debutant Shadow Boxer, representing Victorious Forever and costing €520,000, will have the market's attention. For the latest updates, interviews, and features on racing, find out more on your phone. Another highlight of the evening is the Ladies Day Sunday 16th August Fillies' Handicap, where three recent winners face off. Cool Molly, with a three-pound increase after her win in the All-Weather Vase Fillies' Handicap at Lingfield, commands respect with two wins from her last three starts. Vencedora, carrying Sheikh Mohammed Obaid's colors and trained by Karl Burke, brings a different profile as a lightly raced and unexposed filly, having her first run of the season after a win at Newmarket in September. Rogue Citation, representing The Rogues Gallery, shares a similar profile with Vencedora, with only two starts and a win last time out in October. It will be fascinating to see how these fillies perform against the race-fit Cool Molly. For the latest news, interviews, and features from Sky Sports Racing, visit their page. The evening concludes with Seven Fires attempting a hat-trick in the Summer Socials At Southwell Racecourse Fillies' Handicap on her fifth career start. With versatility shown in her two wins at Newcastle, making all on debut and coming from behind last month, she steps back up to six furlongs and is expected to be tough to beat. Top-rated Barefoot Beach, with only two runs, seeks to return to winning form after a close second at Kempton, having shown promise with a win on debut over the same track and trip. Zighy, having recently broken her maiden, could yet prove better, given her consistent form in all five starts. Additionally, 6.30 Southwell features Betelgeuse seeking another course and distance win, while notable jockeys Zac Purton, Harry Bentley, Hugh Bowman, and Andrea Atzeni are in action at Happy Valley.
