5 yo Filly

OR: 50

Form & Verdict
Ended a long losing run when winning over C&D three weeks ago off a 4lb lower mark; that was a weak affair but she came from off the pace in a small field, despite pulling hard, and that will have boosted confidence.

Clear second to a well-handicapped winner on her turf debut over C&D in the spring; since drawn wide over 1m on the AW (didn't see it out) and is low mileage compared to the rest of these; interesting.

In the veteran stage now but the old man's been giving younger legs plenty of trouble this year, dead-heating at Lingfield (7f, AW) in February and placed on another five occasions; still in good heart judged on latest second at Bath (1m, firm) and this dual C&D winner can go well again.
