Still quite lightly raced after only eight starts but ended 2024 with two disappointing AW runs and was well beaten on turf when returning in March; refitted visor the headgear of choice today; needs to turn a corner.

Second foal; half-sister to 6f winner Havana Rum (inc 2yo/AW; RPR 73); dam unraced half-sister to US 1m Grade 1 winner Hunt out of half-sister to 1m3f Listed winner Abury, is granddaughter of Italian 1m Listed winner; good mix of speed and stamina in her pedigree; could well be capable of a big run but a concern that her sales price plummeted from 30,000euros as a yearling to just 3,000Gns at 2.
