J: Rob Hornby

T: Ollie Sangster

Picked up for 220,000gns after winning a Listed race at the Curragh on her final run last year (6f); quite possible she was flattered that day, minus the usual visor (goes in first-time blinkers/tongue-tie tonight) having raced solo for much of the way.

raced far side alone, prominent, disputed lead halfway, led when switched left and joined main group 2f out, ridden inside final furlong, went clear towards finish (trainer said, regarding the apparent improvement in form, they left off the blinkers which she wore on her previous 2 starts and this in his opinion brought about the apparent improvement in form)

Form & Verdict
Displayed major improvement when a close fourth at 50-1 in a 6f Group 3 against her own sex at Naas in August; took a big rise in the ratings for that, giving her a good chance in theory; fair sixth of 18 in a Listed sprint at Ayr last time.

Form & Verdict
Has done most of her racing in stakes races since handicap second at Listowel last year; runner-up in a 1m Listed event in Germany in May; seemed to run a career-best when touched off by veteran mare Surrounding at Galway; useful filly over 7f, has never tried 6f and may find a few of these too quick for her.
