Form & Verdict
Blinkers added at Gulfstream Park (5f, firm) on second start and she rocketed out of the gates to make all; set strong fractions and yet was extending her lead late on, swatting aside a Wesley Ward newcomer (odds-on; unraced since) who was clear of the rest; likely contender if coping with this different environment and slower ground.

Sole win for James Ferguson at Wolverhampton (5f fillies' maiden; second start) in May 2023; hasn't really figured in four starts (6f-7f) since joining this trainer; visor applied dropping back in trip from an easing mark.
