Goldinthesea Aims for Winning Debut at Southwell

Wednesday evening promises exciting 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 a thrilling encounter, featuring three unexposed colts. Goldinthesea, having recently switched from Joseph O'Brien's yard to Ed Bethell's, is an intriguing runner. He made an impression at Dundalk in January, with his form boosted by the third-place finisher's subsequent win. As the son of No Nay Never, he could have a promising future with his new connections. Penny Time is another exciting contender, trained by Hugo Palmer, who won convincingly at Southwell last month. Owen Burrows' Sassicaia has only raced once, winning at Wolverhampton in December, and like the others, 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 race this evening 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, must be respected. Vencedora, carrying the famous Sheikh Mohammed Obaid colours, has a different profile, being lightly raced and unexposed for Karl Burke. Rogue Citation, representing The Rogues Gallery, shares a similar profile with Vencedora, having only run twice, with her only win coming last time out. It will be interesting to see how they perform after the winter break and whether they can compete against the race-fit Cool Molly. The finale this evening features Seven Fires attempting to complete a hat-trick in the Summer Socials At Southwell Racecourse Fillies' Handicap. With two wins at Newcastle, showing versatility, she steps back up to six furlongs and should be tough to beat. Top-rated Barefoot Beach bids to bounce back to winning ways after a close second at Kempton, having shown promise in her debut win. Zighy, having recently won, could yet prove better, having not been out of the top three in all five starts. Additionally, 6.30 Southwell features Betelgeuse seeking another course and distance win, while Happy Valley showcases Zac Purton, Harry Bentley, Hugh Bowman, and Andrea Atzeni in action.
