Wet Paint glistens as Anamoe prepares for Australian swansong

Wet Paint will look to provide Godolphin with a first Kentucky Oaks next month, with the Brad Cox-trained filly confirming her place in the Classic following another sensational display at Oaklawn Park on Saturday.

The Blame homebred completed a full set of Oaks trials at the Arkansas track as she flew from last to first to take the G3 Fantasy Stakes, adding to her wins in the Martha Washington and Honeybee Stakes.

Tribalist could also be set for some significant targets over the coming months in Europe after he secured a first G3 success on his four-year-old return in Saturday’s Prix Edmond Blanc at Saint-Cloud.

The UK Flat season may have kicked off on Saturday, but two Godolphin horses picked up notable all-weather wins on the same day.

Bandinelli claimed the Queen’s Prize handicap at Kempton Park for a second successive year, setting up another possible crack at the Northumberland Plate in the summer.

Progressive colt Bold Act could tackle Listed company on his next outing, with the son of New Approach having notched a fourth straight win when taking a valuable conditions race at Chelmsford City.

Anamoe will be hoping to create more history when he makes his final Australian appearance in the G1 Queen Elizabeth Stakes at Randwick on Saturday. Godolphin’s most prolific G1 winner has the chance to equal Winx’s record of seven top-level wins in a season, with European raider Dubai Honour set to provide stiff opposition.
