Close Listed third over 1m4f at Chantilly in June but she's come up short in Group races on her last two runs and a similar outcome is likely.

Unraced on worse than good to soft; always up with pace when close third in Chantilly Listed race (1m4f) in June, looking well worth a crack at this longer trip and two smart half-brothers tasted notable success at 1m6f; needs overall improvement, though, and to put the lesser efforts on her last two starts well behind her.
