Won seven of 11 races, including a 1m3f Listed contest in good style at Baden-Baden in May (her only start on soft ground) and a 1m4f Group 2 there in clearcut fashion in first-time cheekpieces when last seen (good to soft); Queen Of The Pride proved 3l too strong in the Lancashire Oaks on good ground, but perhaps softer is ideal and she should get that today; considered.

Her highly progressive 3yo campaign concluded with a Listed win in Germany (1m2f, good) last September and she's continued the excellent work this season, with another German Listed win (1m3f, soft) and a convincing Group 3 triumph at Newcastle (1m2f, AW) last Friday; exciting and holds strong claims.
