Goldikova is a truly outstanding mare, this her ninth Group/Grade 1 and third in a row, and there's more depth to this one than some of the others, even allowing for Rip Van Winkle's flop, still having a high-class colt to beat in Paco Boy; whilst she's impossible to knock, her superiority over the latter isn't conclusive, as she had a slight tactical edge as things went on the day, more positively ridden and getting first run over 2f out, Paco Boy without a gap as she accelerated clear, though the way she did so was impressive all the same, quickly taking 3 lengths out of the field before seeming to idle, rallying when the runner-up was in striking distance; Goldikova's seasonal aim remains a hat-trick attempt in the Breeders' Cup Mile and she'll likely tread a familiar path before then, with repeat bids in the Rothschild and the Jacques le Marois back in France - she'll be very hard to beat wherever she goes next; encouragingly, she wasn't so troublesome at the start as often, in good shape and relaxed all round in fact.
