Goldinthesea Aims for a Winning Debut at Southwell

Wednesday evening brings exciting All-Weather racing action from Southwell, broadcast live on Sky Sports Racing. The highlight of the evening is the Come Racing For Free 18th June Novice Stakes, where three promising colts face off. Goldinthesea, recently transferred from Joseph O'Brien's yard to Ed Bethell's, is an intriguing contender after an impressive performance at Dundalk in January. His form has been bolstered by the third-place finisher's subsequent win, suggesting a bright future for this son of No Nay Never under new connections. Penny Time, trained by Hugo Plamer, is another exciting runner who dominated at Southwell last month and seeks his third win in as many starts. Owen Burrows' Sassicaia, a winner 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's attention. Stay updated with the latest racing news on your phone. Another competitive event is the Ladies Day Sunday 16th August Fillies' Handicap, featuring three recent winners. Cool Molly, with a three-pound increase after her win at Lingfield, is a strong contender. Vencedora, carrying Sheikh Mohammed Obaid's colors and trained by Karl Burke, has a different profile, being lightly raced and making her first start of the season after a win at Newmarket. Rogue Citation, representing The Rogues Gallery, has a similar profile with only two runs, her last being a win. It will be interesting to see how these fillies perform against the race-fit Cool Molly. The evening concludes with the Summer Socials At Southwell Racecourse Fillies' Handicap, where Seven Fires attempts to complete a hat-trick in her fifth start. With two versatile wins at Newcastle, she steps up to six furlongs and is tough to beat. Top-rated Barefoot Beach, with only two runs, seeks a return to winning form after a close second at Kempton. Zighy, having recently secured her first win, could yet prove better under George Boughey's guidance. The action also includes Betelgeuse aiming for another course and distance win at 6:30 at Southwell, while notable jockeys Zac Purton, Harry Bentley, Hugh Bowman, and Andrea Atzeni are in action at Happy Valley.
