Shortest win price
Durazzo (1)
2.65
The Winning Edge Presentation Goodwood Handicap is an Open Quality race at Hobart over 1100 metres on a Good 4 track in overcast conditions, jumping at 2:45 pm AEDT. Durazzo is shortest in the market, with Blameitontheboogie and Prince Of Khatun next best. Those three command the money, but the form picture suggests genuine uncertainty in a race where several runners carry risk alongside promise.
Durazzo brings the strongest recent evidence to the table. The horse is a proven fresh performer, stepping out 35 weeks since last racing and carrying the AAP comment that it is expected to make an immediate impact. Career record reads 17 starts for 11 wins and three placings, and Kelvin Sanderson is riding in strong form—his recent strike rate is 35 per cent above his career average. From barrier one in a midfield speed group, the claims look solid. Prince Of Khatun sits chasing a hat-trick after back-to-back victories at Launceston, though barrier 10 is awkward and recent form over 1100 and 1200 metres fits the distance profile. Adam Trinder's stable is outperforming market expectations by 25 per cent, a significant positive for the trainer's runners. Blameitontheboogie is resuming after 20 weeks and carries the professional tag, but the form lacks the sharpness of Durazzo's return; a gap from 800 metres to 1100 metres is meaningful, though Codi Jordan's jockey ROI is running 12 per cent above career average.
Zany Girl offers intrigue further down the market. The horse finished second at Launceston on 25 September with a solid effort in the back half, shaken up and full of running in the closing stages. That run suggests finishing power, and while barrier eight and a backmarker speed map put the horse in a pocket, the comment identifies it as one for multiples—a valid observation for a race where the favourite carries unknowns tied to its layoff. Perola has taken a negative rider change and the current jockey's strike rate is 52 per cent below her career average, a material headwind worth noting. Alpine Thunder leads the field from barrier six but carries just an 11 per cent strike rate from trainer Stuart Gandy's stable—enough to question whether early speed alone will suffice.

First-up (35-weeks). Wonderful competitor. Proven fresh performer. Expected to make an immediate impact.

First up after a break of 35 weeks. Caught the eye when 3rd beaten by 1 1/4L last run at Launceston and hard to fault at this trip. Every possible hope today.
RP
Has won at this track; normally pretty consistent; didn't quite live up to market expectations at evens when third over 1m at Launceston (Listed race) in February; strong contender in this lower-class event and has some notable wins on the CV.
RSIS
Back from a break of 35 weeks. Hit the line well when 3rd last start at Launceston and proven runner at this distance. Drawn well. Back in trip. Smart type.

Resuming (35-weeks). Two pleasing trial hitouts leading into return and proven first-up. Could give some cheek at odds fresh in this affair.
ILB
Has multiple wins when resuming. Maintained a solid pace but eventually weakened to finish 3rd last run at Launceston and have to respect the form at the distance. Will need to find a new peak.
RP
Brings winning C&D form to the table; a while since he's been in the winners' enclosure (last win two years ago); just over 1l third to Perspiration at Launceston over 6f (handicap) when producing a respectable effort in February; others have more pressing claims.
RSIS
Should be ready to fire fresh. Was quite a handful for the competition when 3rd beaten by 1 1/4L last time at Launceston. Expected to settle towards the tail.

Back from a break. At $3.60 picked up some ground to run 4th last start at the track but facing a stronger group of contenders. Carrying less weight this time. Few more classier types in this race.

Has won at this course; useful at this level; finished fourth but wasn't beaten too far (5l) here over 6f (handicap) four months ago; ought to be competitive as he clearly knows how to get his head in front.
RSIS
Back from a break. Odds of 13/5 and made some ground when 4th last run at the track but facing stiffer opposition. Will benefit with the weight drop.

Game effort to win narrowly by 1/2L last time at Launceston but up against a more competitive field. Has not missed this campaign with 2 wins from as many starts. Value play.

Too good for Zany Girl and Georgaroni when winning by half a length at Launceston two weeks ago; a previous winner here; bids to pull off a hat-trick; possible squeak.

Managed to come out on top by the slightest of margins last start at Launceston but testing ability against stronger contenders. Has some claims.

First run back from a break. Stormed home to win last time at this track and suited at this trip historically. Can find a nice position from the draw. This won't be easy.

Completed her hat-trick last time and unbeaten over this C&D after two runs; narrow scorer in a handicap in May; probably unlikely to trouble the principals despite that win last time.

Great run at Launceston 25 Sep. Quietly handled in back half, shaken up and finished full of running at Launceston when second-up. One for multiples.
ILB
At $3.60 made some ground when 4th last run at Launceston but rising in class. Might have to make up considerable ground. Looks hopeful.
RP
Brings winning C&D form to the table; respectable effort (beaten just over 1l) at Launceston last month, a race won by the reopposing Prince Of Khatun; hard enough to fancy as regularly been coming up a bit short lately.
