Sagely has recorded both wins
under Silvestre De Sousa, as well as finishing second, off a 1lb
higher mark, in this race last year. The Brazilian was once again in
the saddle when Ed Dunlop’s filly finished third, beaten a neck and
three-quarters of a length, at Salisbury last month and the
partnership appears to have every chance of going one better than
last year. The form of her previous third at Chelmsford has been
franked by the winner, Ickymasho, and the runner-up, Banditry, who
both reoppose, and she went down fighting against the unexposed
Standing Rock at Salisbury. She’s 4lb better off for three-quarters
of a length with Billesdon Bess, with finished second in the latter
race and, while she steps back up in class, she still appears
feasibly weighted for a return to the winners’ enclosure.
Obviously there are plenty with
chances, as is the case with all the handicaps this week but, at a
double-figure price, Sagely looks good value to take Silvestre De
Sousa one closer to a second jockeys’ title.
Goodwood 4.45 Sagely to win
(16/1 with Ladbrokes)
