Form & Verdict
210,000gns 2yo; by Zoustar out of a 5f 2yo winner (including Listed); came home strongly at Sandown (good) on debut and, while the form behind lacks depth, won in the style of a useful prospect; interesting.

Close third in Group 3 at Chantilly (6f, soft) in May and seemed stretched by 7f when fair Listed fourth at Deauville (7f, good to soft) last month; might not be far away now back down in trip, provided she handles conditions (unproven on quick ground).

Impressed over C&D on debut and she overcame adversity to win a Newbury Listed event on her second start (5f, good to soft); came up short in Group 3 events on her final two runs (not clear run on second occasion); not fully exposed but she'll need to have done well over the winter to defy this mark on her handicap debut.
