Samira Gold Goes for Lancashire Oaks
Samira Gold makes a belated return to the fold in a competitive bet365 Lancashire Oaks at Haydock on Saturday.
Luca Cumani’s Gold Away filly displayed the potential to make a classy older performer in her runs as a three-year-old, winning Listed events at Goodwood and Yarmouth before taking third in an Ascot Group Three.
Bruce Raymond, racing manager to Samira Gold’s owner Jaber Abdullah, reported: “She’s been off with a minor foot problem, which has kept her away from the racecourse for some time. However, Luca Cumani believes he has got her as ready as he can without a run and we hope she goes well.”
The Group Two poses a stern examination. Among the 12 declared are the Juddmonte Oaks fourth Clowance, Geoff Wragg’s Ribblesdale runner-up Arthur’s Girl, last year’s winner Turbo Linn and decent types Ezima and Folk Opera.
