By Dandy Man; first foal; dam unraced half-sister to winners Commemorative (1m 2yo Group 3) and Shoreditch (useful UAE 6f), out of 7f 2yo winner; makes debut with trainer among the winners and she could be a contender, especially if strong in the betting.

Formerly trained in UK; won twice as a 2yo (5f-6f) and ran creditably in defeat in group and stakes company; not a bad effort on seasonal debut but was poor last time; since sold for 23,000gns; check the market on stable debut.

Just A Girl

9st 5lb

J: Billy Loughnane

T: Charlie Johnston

Her one win from ten starts came in a Lingfield novice as 2yo but she's improving and produced best effort when dividing higher-rated fillies in a Listed race at Carlisle (7f, good to firm) last month; inevitably has torpedoed her handicap mark as a result, going up 10lb, and needs extra back at this level.

She's raced nine times and produced her best RPR yet when close second in C&D handicap (good to firm) last month, splitting Albaydaa and Applesandpears who were carrying 2lb more; probably vulnerable back up in grade.

Consistent rather than progressive; missed out by just a short head in a Haydock nursery eight days ago (7f, good to soft); should stay this far but could prove vulnerable to improvers back in a maiden.

Early promise but she's started to tread water; latest fifth over C&D (good to soft; Come On Over second) wasn't a bad effort, though, when things didn't really go her way; not entirely ruled out with Billy Loughnane taking over.

Form & Verdict
Well beaten on debut at Redcar (5f, good to firm) before encouraging third at Carlisle (6f, soft), and she took another step forward when second at Newcastle (7f, AW); on that latest evidence this return to 6f isn't an obvious positive, but she has strong form claims and has to be respected.
