Much-improved fourth at huge price in 1m maiden at Gowran, staying on steadily to finish only 2l off 83-rated third; well handicapped in theory on that line of form.

Sands Of Mali filly soundly beaten in both late-season maidens at big odds; easily overlooked now.

Third foal; dam unraced half-sister to Group-placed 1m winner Fresnel and Italian 1m7f Listed winner Fortunino, from the family of 1m4f/1m6f Group 3 winner Profound Beauty; by a leading second-season sire but cost only Eur1,800 as a yearling; likely best watched.
