After Dr Yes` success yesterday at Bath we advised a bet today on Moonlight Cloud who just edged out Farhh in a tactical race for the Qatar Prix du Moulin at Longhamp.
Frankie Dettori set out to dictate affairs on the Godolphin-owned four-year-old Farhh, who has been well-beaten by Frankel in his last two starts, but he could not shake off Freddie Head's filly, who ranged alongside him a furlong out.
She responded to Thierry Jarnet's urgings to get her head in front close home for a narrow success, her third at Group One level. The pair pulled a long way clear of Sarkiyla, with the Alan McCabe-trained Caspar Netscher last of the four runners.
Head said: "She's wonderful, how tough she is, she's a fighter. She will miss the Foret and go to Santa Anita (for the Breeders' Cup) and she could maybe stay in training at five, but I'll have to talk to (owner) George Strawbridge about that.
"Six furlongs is too sharp for her, I think that's why she got beaten at Ascot. Jarnet told me that the last 400 metres, they galloped. It was a real mile."
