Bought for $600,000 at a US breeze-up sale; weak 10-1 at the Curragh (6f, good) but showed plenty of pace and kept on to be beaten only 2l in a traditionally warm maiden; while she's fully entitled to benefit enormously for that experience, it has to rate a negative that her owner's retained rider David Egan jumps ship to Love Olivia.
