Goldi primed for Queen Anne clash

FREDDIE Head believes Goldikova to be in the best shape he has ever had her ahead of what promises to be a cracking renewal of the Queen Anne Stakes at Royal Ascot tomorrow.

The dual Breeders’ Cup Mile heroine may be favourite at 13-8 with Stan James to land her ninth Group One, but she faces extremely tough competition headed by last year’s winner Paco Boy and Rip Van Winkle.

“I think she is very well and I have her in very good condition. Everything has been going to plan since her last run and I expect her to run a great race on Tuesday,” said Head.
