Saturday
Joanna Morgan's occasional forays across the Irish Sea warrant the utmost respect and in Miss Gorica the trainer has a mare with the capacity to run a big race in Saturday's Wokingham Stakes. The daughter of Mull Of Kintyre has plenty of weight but she has been in the form of her life this season. Last week she notched up her first Listed race success when scoring over five furlongs at Naas and she wasn't at all disgraced behind a trio of classy English fillies in the Ballyogan Stakes at Leopardstown just three days later. The Wokingham will present Miss Gorica with an entirely different challenge to what she has faced in stakes races lately. However, the in foal mare has been going from strength to strength this term and maybe she could yet be capable of better still. Furthermore a look at her record in competitive handicaps makes for quite encouraging reading and her trainer has long maintained that six furlongs is her very best trip.
