Form & Verdict
Soundly beaten in maidens, but a mark such as this has not looked beyond her in three handicap runs; slow starts have been a common theme but despite that she was an eyecatcher in a large-field Curragh handicap three days ago when sent off 9-4 favourite but repeatedly being denied a clear run; big player.
