Form & Verdict

Won 1m2f maiden at Ascot in May before minor honours in Listed races at Goodwood, Newmarket and York; the last two were over 1m4f (good to firm) and she gave every indication that this longer trip will suit her; no match for Scenic last time but now has cheekpieces and has progressive form.

Won 1m2f maiden at Ascot in May on reappearance; marked improvement since in Listed races at Goodwood and Newmarket, latterly outpaced well over 4f out, when towards the rear, so it was an achievement that she worked her way into fourth of 13 (upped to 1m4f, good to firm); needs to show a lot more zip to win this but she's open to further progress on just her fifth start.

Dubawi filly who left her 2yo debut behind when just holding on in 1m2f Ascot maiden (good to soft) on reappearance in May; progressed again when close third (Ambiente Amigo fifth) in 1m2f Goodwood Listed race (good) in June, rallying late on in a manner which suggests this step up to 1m4f will suit; probably more to come from her.

In career-best form when at 1m6f-2m this season for three seconds and a fourth; the last two of those races were Group 2s at Goodwood (1m6f second against her own sex; ahead of Grateful) and York (2m fourth against the males) and she should be bang there once again.

Has had just four races, all on good; won a 1m4f maiden at the Curragh in June and, having been put in her place in a 10.5f Listed race, she stepped up to 1m6f successfully in a Group 3 at Fairyhouse in July; Dancing Tango was the half-length second last time and while overall it did not look a strong race for the grade, this 3yo should have scope for improvement.

14th start but only her second win when she upped her game markedly to win the Galtres at York (1m4f, good to firm; seventh attempt at a Listed race) three weeks ago in fine style, coming from off the pace; that followed a very close third in 1m7f Deauville Listed race and that's her only run beyond 1m4f, so there may be some untapped potential with this sort of stamina test.
