Talented filly Godspeed bounced back to her best at Chantilly with victory over 1600 metres in the G2 Prix de Sandringham.
The daughter of our shuttle stallion Hello Youmzain had been a sound third in the G3 Prix de la Grotte at Longchamp before returning there for a midfield finish in the G1 French 1000 Guineas over a mile.
She travelled easily near the pace under Christophe Soumillon and rounded off stylishly for her second win from just five outings.
"The filly did really well and gives me a lot of pleasure for her to run like that,” co-trainer Yann Lerner told Sky Sports Racing.
“We missed a bit of that luck at the beginning of the season with her, but we have plenty of confidence. We know she has a lot of talent.
"She has a nomination in the French Oaks (Prix de Diane, G1), but that's 15 days. I need to talk to all the partners, then we will see.
"She's a very easy filly. If she can show the same turn of foot over 2000 metres, she could be quite good."
An 80,000gns Arqana Deauville Yearling Sale graduate, Godspeed is out of the stakes-winning Stormin Home mare Mary’s Precedent and the family of international Group 1 winners Sottsass and Sister charlie.
