RACING/News: Attraction can put her supporters on cloud nine by maintaining her remarkable unbeaten record at Newmarket today.

Eight victories - the last three coming in Group One races - have marked her as the undisputed queen of her generation over a mile.

Now she aims to make it four in a row at the highest level in all her four starts this season, but she is taking on older fillies for the first time in the UAE Equestrian And Racing Federation Falmouth Stakes.

It is exactly 12 months ago that the Mark Johnston-trained filly displayed her true brilliance with an electrifying performance to win the Cherry Hinton Stakes on the July course by five lengths.

When she returned to the track this year it was for the UltimateBet.com 1,000 Guineas over Newmarket's Rowley Mile, where she landed a gutsy all-the-way win from Sundrop.

She then became the first filly to complete the English/Irish 1,000 double when successful at the Curragh, before rubber-stamping her authority in the Coronation Stakes at Royal Ascot.

Her two-and-a-half-length romp over Majestic Desert (beaten at Leopardstown on Saturday night) showed her to be a cut above her contemporaries and on that run she has nothing to fear from the other three-year-olds in tomorrow's line-up. However, she does face a proven Group One performer among the older generation in Soviet Song.

The 2002 Ascot Fillies' Mile heroine was out of luck at the highest level last term but returned to her very best when only beaten a neck by subsequent Eclipse winner Refuse To Bend in the Queen Anne Stakes at Royal Ascot.

She will provide Attraction with a stern examination but the younger filly has the class to reign supreme.

This year's Cherry Hinton Stakes can fall to the unbeaten Jewel In The Sand.
