Group Three Prestige Fillies' Stakes Goodwood Guide 2023

Dominic Ffrench Davis sends two runners to the Group Three Prestige Fillies' Stakes at Goodwood on Saturday in the form of Elegant Madame and Komat. The latter arrives here on the back of four career runs, following a win on debut at Redcar with a third-place finish at Vichy in a listed event, but it has not been plain sailing since. She finished sixth in the Group Three Albany Stakes at Royal Ascot in June and was fifth in the next group three contest she competed in and others here arrive in top form.

She would be a somewhat surprising winner of this. Owen Lewis is booked to ride.

Simon and Ed Crisford send one runner to the Group Three Prestige Fillies' Stakes at Goodwood on Saturday with Carla's Way. The two-year-old enters this contest after two career runs, which has seen her record a two-length success on debut at Doncaster in June before finishing eighth in the Group Three Albany Stakes at Royal Ascot later that month. That race may have come too soon for her and it's likely that she will bounce back with a better effort here.

The 97-rated filly has a chance to improve on that finish last time out and she has to be considered. David Probert will do the steering.

Richard Fahey sends one runner to this group three contest at Goodwood in the form of Pretty Crystal. The two-year-old has begun her career in inconsistent fashion, winning on debut at Ripon by just under two lengths before finishing fifth in the Group Three Albany Stakes at Royal Ascot in June. She heads here on the back of finishing second in the Group Three Princess Margaret Stakes at Ascot last month and she has a chance to improve on that finish and go one better here.

It would be a surprise if she wasn't there or thereabouts at the end. Billy Garritty is booked to ride.

Charlie Appleby sends one runner to the Group Three Prestige Fillies' Stakes at Goodwood on Saturday with Dazzling Star. The two-year-old has had an indifferent start to her career so far, finishing eighth on debut at Kempton before claiming a first success at Newmarket in June in a class four maiden, beating Jumeirah Breeze by three-and-a-half-lengths. She followed that with a fourth-place finish in the Group Three Princess Margaret Stakes at Ascot last month when 3/1fav before heading here for another shot at group three success.

She cannot be discounted, but others are in better form. James Doyle will do the steering.

Dominic Ffrench Davis sends two runners to the Group Three Prestige Fillies' Stakes at Goodwood in the form of Komat and Elegant Madame. The latter arrives here on the back of a sole career run at Lingfield over seven furlongs a couple of months ago, claiming a half-length success over nine rivals to claim victory in the class five novice contest.

This race requires a big step up from that first outing, and although she doesn't look that well-fancied in the market, she cannot be completely dismissed after that win on debut. David Egan is booked to ride.

Karl Burke sends one to this group three contest at Goodwood on Saturday in the form of his filly Darnation. The two-year-old arrives at this contest in fine form, having followed up a third-place finish on debut at Haydock by recording an emphatic ten-length success in a class four fillies' novice at Thirsk over seven furlongs last month before heading here for her firs taste of grouped company.

She is most definitely one to keep an eye on here on her grouped debut, as she looks to build on an encouraging start to her career. Sam James is booked to ride.

Ollie Sangster sends one runner to the Group Three Prestige Fillies' Stakes at Goodwood on Saturday in the form of market leader Shuwari. The two-year-old arrives here in tip top form, winning on debut at Newbury by over a length a couple of months ago in a class four novice before making it two out of two in the Listed Star Stakes at Sandown last month, triumphing by half a length to Fallen Angel.

She probably justifies favouritism here after that listed success and she looks like the one to beat. Kieran Shoemark is booked to ride.

William Haggas boasts one runner in this group three contest over seven furlongs at Goodwood on Saturday in the form of Hard To Resist. The two-year-old has raced over six and seven furlongs respectively during her first two outings in her career at Newmarket, finishing last of six on debut but claiming a narrow success next time out in a class four novice, ahead of 7/4fav Bourgeoisie. She now enters group three company for the first time on the back of that victory.

She cannot be dismissed here, however, it feels like others make more appeal. Cieren Fallon will do the steering.

James Tate sends one runner to the Group Three Prestige Fillies' Stakes at Goodwood on Saturday in the shape of Ahlain. The two-year-old has had two starts in her career so far, putting a seventh-place finish at Newbury in a class four race over six furlongs behind her by winning a ten-runner class five novice at Kempton earlier this month by a neck to 2/1 favourite Poutchek.

This will be tougher, stepping up in class but she cannot be dismissed after recording her first victory last time out. Ray Dawson is on board.

Top flat trainer Ralph Beckett has one in the Group Three Prestige Fillies' Stakes at Goodwood this weekend with his filly Forever Blue. The two-year-old arrives here at Goodwood on the back of her first career run, which was a three-and-three-quarter length success in a class four maiden at Haydock earlier this month, holding off 4/5 favourite Rainwater over six furlongs. This Blue Point filly now heads for her first shot at grouped glory in the hands of jockey Hector Crouch.

This is a step up and while she is not completely out of it, others do make more appeal.
