Form & Verdict

Form & Verdict

Met trouble in running on Curragh debut in late June; a fortnight later showed the benefit of that experience to win a Leopardstown maiden, with stablemate Bubbling in fourth; ran as well as could have been expected when no match for Bedtime Story in a Group 3 last time.

Made a pleasing winning debut in a soft ground maiden over 6f at this venue in May; respectable efforts on better ground in Group races since then, but no reason why she should reverse last month's Leopardstown form with Bedtime Story and Exactly.

Impressive scorer on soft ground at the Curragh early in the season hasn't quite had the impact in Group company than anticipated, racing too keenly over 6f at both Naas an back at the Curragh; will need to settle much better to see out this extra 1f.

Arizona filly was an unconsidered 40-1 shot when making very encouraging debut in hot Curragh maiden over this trip last month, staying on to take third behind potentially top-class fillies Lake Victoria and Red Letter with today's rival Exactly behind; sure to win races and definite place claims here.
