Stick with the star Attraction
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.
That was her fifth and final run as a two-year-old as she was plagued with training problems after that.
When she did return to the track it was for the UltimateBet.com 1000 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 1000 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 showed her to be a cut above her contemporaries and on that run she has nothing to fear from the three other three-year-olds in today's line-up Baqah, Illustrious Miss and Tizdubai.
However, she does face a proven Group One performer among the older generation in Soviet Song, 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.
