Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Completely Random
Completely Random heads this competitive seven-furlong Goodwood Class 2 on a rating a clear seven points ahead of Fondo Blanco, with the form to suggest he is capable of translating that edge into a result on good-to-firm ground. The chief dangers come from Fondo Blanco and Galeron, who are both next best on our ratings and will press him hard through the closing stages, while Addison Grey also merits respect in what is an open and lively contest. Completely Random's profile gives him the edge on balance, and he is taken to come out on top.
