SO MI DAR, the choice of Frankie Dettori, is taken to make a winning return to action in Thursday's Group One Qatar Nassau Stakes at Goodwood in which she bids to successfully concede 8lb in weight-for-age to the dual Guineas and Royal Ascot winner Winter.
John Gosden's four-year-old may have suffered the odd setback in the past 12 months, and this is her first outing since looking unlucky in the Prix de l'Opera at Chantilly last October, but she has an excellent record when fresh.
In France, So Mi Dar was travelling strongly but caught without daylight on the inside and, despite running on well once switched, she was never able to reel in Speedy Boarding and Pleascach. She must have gone close there with better luck in running.
Earlier, denied a Classic run after a convincing win in the Musidora Stakes last May, she reappeared at Yarmouth four months later to give 4lb and a comfortable beating to Nezwaah who, recently successful in the Group One Pretty Polly Stakes at The Curragh, now reopposes on level terms.
Dettori had a choice here between So Mi Dar and the talented three-year-old Shutter Speed and the fact he has gone for the selection suggests she will be well tuned up for this prestigious contest while the latter could be taken out if conditions become too soft.
