Goodwood Day 4 Tips

3:00pm Goodwood - Golden Mile Handicap Tips
3:35pm Goodwood - King George Qatar Stakes Tips

Glorious Goodwood reaches its penultimate day on Friday. Although there's no Group One on Friday's card, ITV viewers have got a sensational renewal of the King George Qatar Stakes to look forward to, along with the Thoroughbred Stakes and a couple of strong handicaps.

Here are my best betting tips for Friday's ITV races.

ITV Racing Tips - Friday 2nd August

1:50pm Goodwood - Goodwood Handicap Tips

SUPER SUPERJACK (7/1) came close to winning this race two years ago. Olly Murphy's recruit, then with Milton Harris, was heavily backed in the build-up, but found himself in a pocket behind a wall of runners at a crucial stage and his late charge was only good enough for second behind Master Milliner.

Like Master Milliner, Super Superjack returned from a two-year absence earlier this season, finishing fourth on his reappearance at Nottingham before a decent effort at Ascot last time out. Murphy's seven-year-old returns to Goodwood rated two pounds lower than in 2022 and Tom Marquand - who won this in 2020 - has been booked to ride.

2:25pm Goodwood - Thoroughbred Stakes Tips

I'm not quite ready to give up on TASK FORCE (7/1), who I backed for the 2000 Guineas at the start of the season. Ralph Beckett's colt impressed over six furlongs as a juvenile, and everything in his breeding suggested that he'd be better over a mile.

Rossa Ryan's mount finished seventh in the Guineas, a result he repeated in the Jersey Stakes at Royal Ascot, where Task Force hit the line strong five lengths adrift of Haatem. Stepping back up to a mile should suit and Ralph Beckett has fitted a tongue-tie for this assignment.

3:00pm Goodwood - Golden Mile Handicap Tips

Johan was very much a trends-buster when he won this race 12 months ago. Horses who're drawn low, in good form and well-found in the market have an excellent recent record, and Johan ticked none of those boxes.

Money has arrived for Blue For You, Classic and Urban Sprawl after they were handed kind low draws. Another who's been drawn well is DARKNESS (14/1), who finished fourth off a three-pound higher mark 12 months ago.

David O'Meara's charge managed to get over to the rail from stall 15 and was still leading with a furlong to travel, before running out of steam late on. Darkness returns to Goodwood in good heart and quicker ground this year will play to his strengths.

PEROTTO (8/1) is certainly worth backing too. Roger Varian's star has returned to form over the past 18 months, ending last season with two impressive wins and registering third-place finishes on both starts this season. Tom Marquand's mount remains on a winnable mark, will relish faster ground and boasts plenty of back form around this tricky track.
