It looks like being Group One targets and nothing else for Johannesburg for the rest of the season after the Aidan O'Brien-trained colt kept his unbeaten record in some style at the Curragh on Saturday.

Following his impressive Norfolk Stakes win at Royal Ascot, Johannesburg found the extra furlong of the Anglesey Stakes no bother and ran out a four-length winner from his stable companion, Wiseman's Ferry.

It was enough for Cashmans to slap a 20 to 1 quote on the colt's back for next year's Newmarket 2,000 Guineas and O'Brien had little hesitation in nominating a step up to the highest class for Johannesburg's next start.

"We will consider the Phoenix Stakes at Leopardstown and the Prix Morny at Deauville," he said. "It was a test going up to six furlongs plus and the ground was different from Ascot so he has to be a very good colt."

The Ballydoyle trainer took both the Heinz 57 and the Prix Morny with Fasliyev in 1999 after that colt had also won at the royal meeting.

Fasliyev went on to be crowned Europe's champion juvenile that season but it was the 1999 Dewhurst winner, Distant Music, that dominated Saturday's Group Two Goffs International Stakes.

The Barry Hills-trained colt was given a confident ride from the front by Richard Hughes who allowed Bonnard to briefly pass him be fore unleashing a final burst that was a length and a half too good for Muakaad.

"I don't think a mile or 10 furlongs matters and he will probably go for either the Sussex Stakes or the Juddmonte International, " said Hills. "He has always been a good horse and our job now is to keep his momentum and rhythm going from race to race."

A couple of winners and a couple of days on the sidelines were the end result of Johnny Murtagh's day.

The former champion picked up the ban for careless riding on Clare Rose in the fillies handicap but had much better luck on Masilia who kept her own unbeaten record by three lengths in the premier handicap while Sarayah who battled well to land the concluding maiden.

The Phoenix Stakes is also an option for Steaming Home who got off the mark third time of asking in the opening maiden. "She was unlucky in the Windsor Castle but is a very relaxed filly who doesn't believe in over-exerting herself," said Dermot Weld.
