All three runs on Polytrack; yet to build on promising debut third but slow starts haven't helped and it's still early days for a filly who is bred to be a good bit better than an opening mark of 64; blinkers replace cheekpieces and interesting to see how strong the betting vibes are.

Ex-French maiden; she was returning from 507 days off when finishing seventh of ten on her stable debut at Kempton in August (7f), weakening quickly in the closing stages but shaping as though there was some ability still intact; drops to 6f and needs a market check.
