Racing:Goldikova bounced back to her brilliant best with an impressive display in the Etihad Airways Falmouth Stakes at Newmarket.
Freddie Head's filly ran no sort of race on her Longchamp comeback but was sent off the 7-4 favourite despite that, and was always close to the pace under Olivier Peslier.
When she hit the front the Cheveley Park pair of Heaven Sent and Spacious emerged as dangers, but Goldikova only had to be pushed out to beat the former by a half a length.
Head said: "The ground at Longchamp was so bad and the filly could not get out of it. She has been working well coming here and I was very happy with her prep gallops, so I was very confident.
"I also had a virus in my yard earlier in the season, but hopefully that is over now and the horses are all coming on.
"She has a couple of options at Deauville during the summer and of course to go back to California and win the Breeders' Cup Mile again is the ultimate aim."
Chris Richardson, racing manager for owners Cheveley Park Stud, was far from disappointed in claiming the minor honours with Windsor Forest 1-2 Spacious and Heaven Sent.
He said: "You can't split them once again. They have both run extremely well and it's no disgrace to have been beaten by Goldikova.
"Spacious could go for the Nassau Stakes and it could be the same for Heaven Sent, although we might look at the Matron Stakes as well."
