Tip for this race
All today's tips ›Sun Goddess No. 6, stall 6
Ryan Moore · Aidan O'Brien
✓ Top rated ✓ Distance winner ✓ Won last time out
Sun Goddess heads this six-runner Class 1 sprint at Newmarket with a clear edge over her rivals, sitting eight pounds ahead of Libertango and sixteen clear of Moonrise, making her the standout on ratings in a competitive field. Libertango represents the most likely danger given she is the next best assessed, while Moonrise and Senorita Bonita cannot be entirely dismissed if the ground or pace of the race fails to suit. Sun Goddess, however, looks well equipped to handle good ground over six furlongs and her rating superiority suggests she has the class to see off this opposition. Sun Goddess is our selection.

Ranked fifth of six on our figures, Alwaysanangel faces a stiff task on ratings, and 43 days off the track adds a fitness query; however, she has two wins in her last three starts, including a victory last time out and a winner three starts back, and has experience over today's trip and going.

Libertango arrives in fine nick with three wins in her last four starts, including a victory last time out, and has run over today's trip — the chief question is whether 37 days between runs has left her short of peak sharpness.

Moonrise arrives in fine fettle, a winner two of her last two starts and boasting three wins in her last four, with experience over today's trip and a light 21-day turnaround; the chief concern is that two rivals hold superior ratings.

Senorita Bonita arrives in fine heart after three wins in her last four starts, most recently a winner last time out, and she has experience of both today's trip and going; the main risk is the 34-day absence leaving questions over peak fitness.

Winless in her last five starts and ranked last on our figures, Snowing faces a stiff ask here despite carrying experience over today's trip and going; a third last time out offers a crumb of encouragement, but the weight of 128 lb and a speed rating of 91 make her hard to fancy.
