The undefeated two-year-old "Touch" tries to add a second consecutive win for Godolphin and coach Michael Steedam in the Jimmy Duranti Stakes in Delmar, United States, on Saturday, November 30.

The 2018 winner, Elsa, struck the first mile of the mile after two impressive six furlong wins at Belmont Park, and finally kicked off with an easy win in the Matron Stakes G3 on Saturday (October 5th).

"Touch" will be led for the first time by Paco Lopez and the daughter of CityZip will compete in a group of 14 skilled, including sixth-placed Breders Cup Juvenile Velez G1 "Kravhavok".

"Touch" has been doing great training and had a mild viral infection ahead of the Predators Cup, so we decided not to involve her, but she recovered quickly, and her training recently was good, said Michael Steedam.

"I think she can handle the extra distance well. She is a very talented and admired talent from the start. Everything has gone well so far and we hope to make a good effort again."
