A year on from making 3.7million gns at Tattersalls October Book 1, Godolphin's Act Of Kindness (Siyouni) began the winning trail in Friday's seven-furlong maiden at Newmarket. Third behind the day's Oh So Sharp runner-up Mubasimah over course and distance last month, the 4-5 favourite was produced by William Buick to lead approaching the furlong pole and score by 1 1/4 lengths from Wadooda (Dubawi).
“The ground was slightly easier last time and William got off there and said she would appreciate a bit of juice going forward as that was quick enough, but also I think she is a filly who is going to appreciate stepping up in trip as well,” Charlie Appleby said. “We'll put her away now and she's had two runs, two very nice experiences and you would be confident you would be coming back in the spring looking at a trial starting over a mile or 10 furlongs.”
“A filly with her pedigree, it's nice to get that win under her belt and whether we see her in a [Listed] Pretty Polly or a Nell Gwyn or something like that next spring, we'll see.”
The winner is a half-sister to Frankel's Fillies' Mile winner Ylang Ylang from the family of the Hong Kong luminary Viva Pataca (Marju) and the dual Grade I winner Laughing (Dansili).
