Pundit pick: PurosangueDiffers from our pick

Purosangue heads this competitive six-furlong Class 2 at Goodwood on soft ground carrying a two-pound edge over the next-best rated rival Ferrous, and with Flash Harry and Ardisia close behind there is no shortage of dangers in a deep field of fifteen. The soft underfoot conditions will be a key factor in how this plays out over the straight, and Purosangue's profile suggests he can handle the test. With medium confidence, Purosangue is the selection.

Pace map

inferred from last 6 runs

Shape: No confirmed front-runner — likely a slow start, race may turn into a sprint.

Bucketed from the opening clause of each past run's comment. Front-runner / prominent / mid / hold-up — the classic race-shape framework. Unknown = no usable comments parsed.

Draw bias — Goodwood 6f

High (11–15)

Today: Sudden Flight (draw 4) and Lakers (draw 3) get the bias; Jungle Drums (draw 12) is in the least-favoured band.

IV = impact value: 1.00 is neutral, above it a stall band wins more often than its share of runners predicts. 112 qualifying races at this course and trip, 3-year window.

OR = official rating · AI = model score (0–100) · form reads oldest → latest · Fair= the market's own consensus: median price across 20–30 bookmakers per horse with the 47% overround stripped out. A green best price pays above that consensus — a price check, not a tip: the market can be wrong about a horse, this only tells you when a book stands out from it.
