9th: Goodwood (G1), 3+, 9f ($5 DD)

Solid group for the Classic prep and a tricky read given what might be a serious pace affair. First Mission and Full Serrano have profiles that typically play well in this and Baffert offers 3yos (Privman/Nevada Beach) that might be capable of forward moves. Glatt's Ultimate Gamble ran a sneaky career best behind Fierceness and Journalism in the PacClassic and wouldn't those 2 be heavy favorites here? That's what I thought..
