4.45 Goodwood Links Drive Lady 2pts each-way AND 1pt win @ 20/1 (Bet Victor, William Hill, 18/1 Stan James, Betpack.com)
Links Drive Lady doesn't come across as an out and out soft ground plodder but she definitely handles the surface, having won on soft at Windsor having travelled well, and she usually goes well at Goodwood - she holds Athenian on a piece of winning form from May and, given that Athenian was off since, I am inclined to think there may have been a problem or two and I didn't see huge promise from her at Hamilton. I think the selection has every chance of improving again from a mark of OR88 because this is another sprint where the principals have a lot of negatives about them - Ashpan Sam isn't proven on downhill tracks, I am questioning Athenian's heart for the battle in her current fettle, Don Marco has been off for a year following a setback in April, and Joe Packet is unproven on course and ground. We have to forgive a couple of poor runs but the selection's form here is rock solid and she ran well on her last visit behind La Fortunate on ground that looked too fast for her. Anything 16/1 or better is too big and Silvestre De Sousa has ridden her before (held her up, I'll be hoping she is held up again today).
Profit & loss: day: -5.00 / month: -86.30 / year: +373.70
