JULIE JOHNSTON, a winner at Chelmsford and York, led for a long way in a much stronger nursery at Goodwood though needs to prove she handles the surface. Two Cop Bop was a short-priced favourite in a similar race here last month but couldn't quite get to the winner and another furlong wouldn't go amiss. Polastri opened with a promising run over this trip at Catterick then found fast going over the minimum against her at Pontefract. The remaining trio look to have plenty to find on what they have shown to date.
