Not at all concerned as to the Go Around itself, just the right turn is unusual for three reasons namely;
1) The standard missed approach off 23L is straight ahead to hold at LENGU
2) The visual circuit is Left Hand
3) North of the airport is quite noise sensitive residential areas with departures normally required to climb to 3000 before turning north to head over the city.

Interestingly the trial RNAV X approach is in the news here as it has approved operators getting low and dirty over the built up area, but that is probably for another thread.
