What Vincent said is correct, you have a much bigger engine than needed, since you are getting more residual thrust then the usual, then cut the throttle on the base turn and go from there.

For the go around, throttle first, for flaps and gear, you have choices, 1 leave all as is, fly the airplane to enter the pattern to land again but don't allow the jet to accelerate to much by reducing thrust as soon as you have gained altitude, 2 flaps up one notch and climb to pattern altitude, again don't allow the jet to accelerate, throttle back when the jet is at pattern altitude, 3 move everything up, flaps first gear second and throttle back.

What I do if I have to do a go around is, throttle to max thrust, fly the airplane as it gains altitude, once it has gain altitude then I reduce the throttle to about half and I bring her around for another landing, I don't touch the flaps or gear, the one thing I don't allow is for the jet to gain too much speed in that configuration, practice, practice, practice, don't be too concern about go arounds, they are your friends and save you from making a bad landing, make a flight all about emergencies and go arounds, to get familiar with the glide envelop of your jet.

Have fun.
