DAY two of Glorious Goodwood is upon is – and it looks to be a cracker.
What's more, there's £50,000 up for grabs in the ITV7.
Here, SunSport's Steve Mullen – Templegate to you and me – goes through each race and highlights his pick, which could net you a fortune.

SISKANY got the worst of a barging match when beaten just over a length in the King George V Stakes at Royal Ascot last time.
He saw out this trip well enough there and might have won with a clearer run. He’s up just 2lb and has more to come. Nagano was another to be hampered in that race and finished with plenty left in the tank. He won a couple of maidens before that and can figure again.
Fabilis put a poor Italian Derby effort behind him to finish a decent second at Ascot earlier this month. He shapes as though this extra quarter-mile could bring improvement for in-form Ralph Beckett.
Pied Piper carries the Queen’s colours and Frankie Dettori stays on board after their solid Newmarket third. He goes on any ground and should have more to offer.
Kolisi caught the eye with an easy Salisbury maiden win last month. He starts handicapping from a fair mark for William Haggas and is one to consider. Chase The Dollar could outrun his odds in the first-time cheekpieces. He has been running well without winning and Mark Johnston has won two of the past four renewals of this race.

BOUNCE THE BLUES went close to winning in this class at Lingfield in May and followed up with another solid effort at Windsor last time out. She loomed up like the winner only for the mile trip to stretch her stamina. Dropping back to seven furlongs looks a wise move with the champion jockey getting back on board.
Highfield Princess could be drawn better but she’s in rich form. She was a decisive winner of the Buckingham Palace Stakes at Royal Ascot and followed up with a Chelmsford Listed success. This trip is ideal and she’ll be right there again. Jessica Harrington sends over last year’s second Valeria Messalina with strong claims. She went close in a Fairyhouse Group 3 last time on the back of a good effort in the Duke Of Cambridge Stakes. This trip seems her best, all ground comes the same and she won’t be far away.
Vadream has tried different trips and finished well over six furlongs at York latest. She was a good third in the Jersey Stakes at this distance and will be played late by Jamie Spencer. She could be a threat if getting luck in running. Lavender’s Blue wasn’t disgraced in the Group 1 Falmouth Stakes at Newmarket 19 days ago. That was over a mile but she has pace and could figure if not getting outpaced in the early stages.
Sacred was last seen running midfield in the 1,000 Guineas but it better than that. She may not have seen out the mile after winning the Nell Gwyn over this trip. Dropping in distance could be the key to William Haggas’s hope.

FEARBY destroyed his rivals when winning the Listed Dragon Stakes at Sandown by five lengths last time. There was a little give in the ground that day so this surface should be perfect. The time of that victory was strong and he can take another step forward. Chipotle didn’t get the best of runs when fancied for the Super Sprint at Newbury 11 days. He’s best judged on his fantastic Windsor Castle Stakes win at Royal Ascot. He blitzed his 26 rivals there. The worry is the ground as he loves it rattling and was below par on soft earlier this year.
Boonie was third in that Windsor Castle on just his third run. He showed a lot of pace and this track should suit. Armor was a running-on fifth that day and gives the impression there’s more to come. He’s likely to show more for Richard Hannon on just his third outing.
Mojomaker has experience of the track and was a solid second over six furlongs here in June before two good runs at Sandown. He was no match for Fearby last time but has an each-way squeak if stepping forward from that.
Kaboo is another of Fearby’s victims who has more to offer. He ran well in the Windsor Castle and this is just his third outing. Nymphadora was midfield in the Queen Mary last time after clocking a good time in winning a York Listed contest. She didn’t have the best of the draw at Ascot and can do better here for Andrew Balding.
3.35
POETIC FLARE put in one of the performances of the season when hammering a quality field to win the St James’s Palace Stakes at Royal Ascot by more than four lengths. He clocked a lightning fast time and is clearly the class act in this field. The only slight concern is the ground as he’s best on a sound surface. He was beaten a short-head in the Irish 1,000 Guineas in the soft so it’s not a great issue. His quality can see him home whatever the weather does.
Snow Lantern turned around Coronation Stakes form with Alcohol Free when landing a gutsy Falmouth Stakes success at Newmarket last time. She can confirm that superiority over Andrew Balding’s runner with all ground coming the same to her. The older horses have a tall order conceding weight to those excellent three-year-olds.
Tilsit has an all-important course and distance win to his name and Charlie Hills’ hope came right back to his best when taking the Group 2 Summer Mile at Ascot earlier this month. He saw off the plucky Century Dream there and he’s another with a liking for Goodwood. It should be a good battle between those two again but they are likely to be playing for a place at best. Ryan Moore rides Breeders’ Cup Mile winner Order Of Australia who coped well with the drop in trip to take a Curragh Group 2 last time but Frankie Dettori may have a better chance on Lope Y Fernandez who ran well in the Queen Anne behind Palace Pier.

FLOTUS could be helped by dropping down to the minimum trip after running too free a couple of times over six furlongs. She wasn’t disgraced in the Group 2 Duchess Of Cambridge Stakes last time despite using plenty of petrol early on. She enjoyed Goodwood when scoring here on debut and will appreciate this drop in grade.
William Haggas does well with his juveniles here and Canonized has already tasted a course-and-distance success. She was a solid second in a York Listed race before landing two solid Windsor victories. She is one of the more experienced in the field but has more to deliver. Vertiginous shaped well when fifth in the Queen Mary at Royal Ascot after a decent debut second at Bath. She’s raced only on rattling ground so far but will be a threat if handling these slower conditions.
Illustrating was a couple of places behind her at the Royal meeting and is another with more to offer. La Feile didn’t have a lot to beat on debut at Beverley but did it nicely and handled the tacky ground well. She should take a major step up from that.
4.45
ACHELOIS was impressive when scoring by almost three lengths at Ascot last time. She relished every yard of the mile and bred to improve for this longer trip. Andrew Balding’s filly can handle this slight hike in class. Freyja has been running in Group races and wasn’t beaten far on the all-weather at Newcastle last time. The handicapper is taking no chances with her mark but she stays well and can make her presence felt.
Percy’s Pride is coming back in distance after a gutsy Ascot success. Going up 5lb means she needs more but could be capable of delivering that. Seattle Rock sports the Jeff Smith colours that are regular Goodwood winners. She steps up from a mile and should appreciate it after a solid effort at Newbury last time.
Timeless Soul is worth a look on her handicap debut. Roger Varian’s filly has shown promise at novice level and should appreciate this stamina test from what looks a fair opening mark.
Aunty Bridy ran with credit at Group 1 level for Jim Bolger level last year and has looked rusty on both starts since joining William Haggas. She takes a drop in grade and hike in trip today.
5.20
TINTORETTO scored on his last visit to Goodwood in May and that could count for a lot in this big field. He battled well to take that contest over this trip and drops in class here. This is wide open but he can go close again. Enough Already didn’t get the best of runs on the all-weather at Lingfield last time after two good turf wins. His liking for Brighton bodes well for this tricky track.
Internationaldream ran well at Doncaster last time when the line came too soon. He’s down the weights and his trainer Richard Fahey won this race 12 months ago. Fox Champion came back to his best when a close-up third at Newmarket. He was collared late on there and can make another bold bid under Silvestre De Sousa. Sunset Breeze needed a couple of runs to get going this season but showed his best when beaten in a head-bobber at Newcastle last time. He’s creeping up the weights but a repeat of that would see him in the mix.
