GOLD AT MIDNIGHT briefly looked like winning when going clear of the rest over a mile here last month. But she ran out of steam in the last half-furlong so this shorter trip looks the logical move for Sir Michael Stoute’s filly. Today’s opposition looks nothing out of the ordinary with only Wing Defence making any appeal of the others with experience given both Wish and Zaula showed little on their respective debuts. But 800,000gns purchase Mary Somerville is the first foal of a Group 3 winner and is a newcomer to keep an eye on ahead of Abanica.
