QUEEN FOR THE DAY

Victory Queen can maintain her unbeaten record

- 

I’ve been looking forward to seeing the unbeaten VICTORY QUEEN (3.00) again and she hits the track at Sandown this afternoon.

The Charlie Appleby (below) charge has looked tough and versatile on both of her starts.

Her latest Ascot victory was arguably a fortunate one as the runner-up was hindered in her challenge by traffic, but a more conventionally run race here on a stiffer track will suit her better anyway.

In that race, she broke smartly, taking the least time of the field to reach 20mph — 2.64 seconds — and William Buick used that to his advantage, giving him the ability to dictate his own terms in front.
