3yo who has shown considerable improvement since these cheekpieces went on, running big races in two handicaps (7f, good/good to soft) before Listed win in Germany (7f, good to soft) a fortnight ago; today is a much tougher test of her credentials but she was impressive last time; respected.

Ran in the Fred Darling on her reappearance; finished last in her first two handicaps but the cheekpieces worked wonders when coming from off the pace to lead late on at Haydock (7f, good); only 3lb higher and the second went on to win the Bunbury Cup; interesting as a lightly raced 3yo filly who looks to have turned a corner.
