Nap of the Day: Anaisa can do punters a favour

After providing Nap of the Day followers with back-to-back winners on Friday and Saturday, I'm hoping to start the new week as I ended the last.

Tuesday's selection comes from the second of seven races at Goodwood.

I expect the hat-trick seeking Brisk Symphony and Nifty to prove popular for this fillies' nursery over six furlongs at Goodwood on Tuesday, ensuring a better price on ANAISA.

Tim Easterby's daughter of Ardad is comfortably the most-exposed in the field, with eight runs to her name, but she possesses the standout piece of form courtesy of her victory in the Ripon Champion Two Yrs Old Trophy last week.

She beat six rivals, including the likes of Amorim (rated 89) and Lam Yai (83), to scoop the £22k prize with something to spare, doing her best work at the business end of the race.

That came only two days after a fine effort in the £100k Tatterstalls Somerville Auction Stakes at Newmarket, in which she finished sixth of 20. Given the first five home were drawn 10, 19, 14, 20 and 18 respectively, indicating a clear track bias, her performance out of stall 1 can be marked up.

Likewise, her handicap debut at Haydock following a mid-season break of 50 days doesn't tell the full story. She was denied a run on multiple occasions in the final couple of furlongs, and the way she finished out the race suggests she could easily have troubled the judge with a bit of luck.

I think she sets a good standard in this company and while I appreciate that, in theory, she doesn't have as much scope for improvement as her opposition, that experience could be crucial, especially in likely conditions - it's currently soft, good to soft in places at the West Sussex venue and there's plenty of rain in the overnight forecast.

A six-pound penalty asks a further question of the selection, as does another quick turnaround (eight days), but I'm confident about her coming up with the answers.

As for those standing in her way, I believe the aforementioned Brisk Symphony is overrated. A mark of 82 looks harsh on what she's achieved to date.

Slay Queen is interesting, but her temperament is questionable - while No Spritz No Party was out of her depth on handicap debut and needs to bounce back.

Nifty is a danger, especially with William Buick on board for the first time, but she only receives three pounds from Anaisa, which mightn't be enough.

The one I'm most wary of is Indy B, for Archie Watson and Hollie Doyle. She was third on her first go in a handicap at Newbury last month and has only been raised two pounds. The daughter of Mehmas holds onto Group 2 and Group 1 entries which, while admittedly fanciful, are respected.

However, going off what they've actually achieved to date, it's Anaisa who gets my backing.
