Goldikova as good as ever

FREDDIE Head’s wonder-mare Goldikova bids to show she has lost none of her considerable talent when she makes her seasonal reappearance in the Prix d’Ispahan at Longchamp tomorrow.

The six-year-old made a winning return in this weekend’s nine-furlong contest 12 months ago and Head is confident his star performer remains as good as ever.

“I think she is just as good as she was last year. I like this race for her. It is a good place to start,” said the Chantilly handler.
