Verdict
Our Golden One, a half-sister to three winners, finished two places ahead of Frankelian at Goodwood but the latter, who is a half-sister to the stable’s dual winner Circuit Breaker, was slowly away and ran green so it would be no surprise to see those placings reversed here. Extraordinaire has shown definite signs of promise while Pure Of Heart is a half-sister to three winners and her fledgling stable has a few useful two-year-olds among its ranks. But the Gosdens’ stoutly-bred Frankel filly STRUTTING has been found a decent opportunity to make a winning start.
