Goldinthesea Aims for a Winning Debut at Southwell

Wednesday evening brings competitive 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, having recently switched from Joseph O'Brien's yard to Ed Bethell's, is an intriguing contender after impressing at Dundalk in January. His form has been enhanced with the third-place finisher winning since, suggesting a bright future for his new connections. Penny Time, trained by Hugo Plamer, is another exciting prospect, having dominated 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 and costing €520,000, will have the market's attention. Another key race is the Ladies Day Sunday 16th August Fillies' Handicap, featuring three recent winners. Cool Molly, up three pounds after winning the All-Weather Vase Fillies' Handicap at Lingfield, commands respect. Vencedora, carrying Sheikh Mohammed Obaid's colors, and Rogue Citation have different profiles but are also contenders. The finale features Seven Fires attempting a hat-trick in the Summer Socials At Southwell Racecourse Fillies' Handicap. With wins at Newcastle showing versatility, she steps back up to six furlongs and is tough to beat. Top-rated Barefoot Beach seeks a bounce-back win after a promising debut, while Zighy, having recently won, could yet improve. Additional action includes Betelgeuse seeking another course and distance win at 6:30 Southwell, and notable jockeys in action at Happy Valley.
