Glorious Goodwood Tips

The Glorious Goodwood Tips for Saturday is Halfway to Heaven in the Nassau Stakes. We would under normal circumstances be advising punters to take the odds of Lush Lashes to win the race at Glorious Goodwood today. She has proved herself to be a top grade filly and has already won the Musidora at York and the Coronation Stakes at Royal Ascot and trainer Jim Bolger can rightly hope for a third Group One today. However the race brings together several fillies who have claims in this race and none have bigger ones than Aiden O'Brien's Halfway to Heaven. We like Halfway to Heaven a lot, but we like her stables credentials even more. Already with 16 Group ones this season, the Aiden O'Brien juggernaut just keeps rolling along, They have already won the two big races at Goodwood this week so why not the third. Halfway to Heaven was the winner of the Irish 1000 Guineas and has odds currently that are simply too hard to resist. With the exception of four, O'Brien's Group One wins this season have all been with horses carrying great odds and it is a surprise that on that basis alone, that Halfway to Heaven is not a much shorter price.

So take advantage of the generosity again of the bookies and get on her this afternoon. We also expect a good run form the John Dunlop trained Muthabura. She was highly fancied to win the Epsom 1000 Guineas, but it was clear to all that she had not matured sufficiently to take on a challenge of that magnitude. However as we approach autumn she has come on in leaps and bounds and connections expect her to fulfil her early season promise. She can be backed at around 4/1 and Muthabara can be backed at around the 8/1 mark.

In the Stewrads Cup we like the look of Robin Bastiman's Borderlescott, who's odds of around 10/1 should be snapped up with Paddypower.
