The Aga Khan's homebre Zarkava (Zamindar - Zarkasha, by Kahyasi) remains unbeaten after another outstanding performance. She won today's Group One Poule d'Essai des Pouliches over 1600m at Longchamp by two lengths, beating Goldikova and Halfway To Heaven in third.

Zarkava raced in midfield under Christophe Soumillon before being asked to quicken off the strong early pace just over two furlongs from home. She took a couple of strides to respind, but then put the matter beyond doubt, running on stongly to the line.
