G1 Prix Maurice de Gheest heroine Polydream (Ire) (Oasis Dream {GB}) is unlikely to run again before a tilt at the G1 Prix de la Foret at Longchamp on Oct. 7. Freddy Head's filly claimed the notable scalp of Laurens (Fr) (Siyouni {Fr}) as a 2-year-old before rounding off her juvenile campaign by finishing second to last week's G1 Nassau S. winner Wild Illusion (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}) in the G1 Prix Marcel Boussac. The daughter of Oasis Dream disappointed on her seasonal reappearance in the G1 French 1000 Guineas, but bounced back to win the G3 Prix du Palais-Royal and saw off a host of British challengers to provide her trainer with a record seventh victory in last Sunday's Group 1.
“She has come out of the race very well,” said Head, who has won the Foret twice with Goldikova (Ire) (Anabaa) in 2010 and Moonlight Cloud (GB) (Invincible Spirit {Ire}) in 2013. “I am very happy with her. I think she is a very good filly, but I don't think she will run again until the Prix de la Foret. I think that is a good target for her.”
