Racing Summary
DATE PROFILE/COMMENTS
May 2nd: Warwick
5f Maiden Fillies'
  • Made lowish price at Tattersalls part 2 sales.
  • Third season sire has a just reaching average record with 2yos. He gets winners at all distances at about equal rates (possibly suggesting the dam's input is important). He can get occasional earlyish 5f winners. 
  • Dam was US bred and showed average form over 7-9f at 2-3yo. She has produced older winners with her previous foals.
  • Trainer does not target strong FTO runs and the wins come along with the best 2yos. He has had 5 debuts in 2005 and the best run has been a 3rd place at Newmarket where he seems to target his better runners.
  • The trainer has had two unplaced fillies in the race 2002-3.
  • In summary likely to need further than 5f and to be below her best on debut. Profile [51]
  • May 9th: Wolverhampton 
    5.1f Auction Fillies'
  • Supported from 12/1 to 9/1 in a season when only support for his runners at Newmarket has been significant. Broke slowly and los two lengths+. Close up behind a moderate pace after a furlong and dropped back to more three lengths behind the pace at halfway. Plugged on in straight without ever getting into the race. Faders from front rank made her seem to 'finish' better than she actually did.  Estimate [54].
  • Runs 7 days after debut and the trainer has a poor record with these shorter breaks (no winner from 11 in 2003-4). Two of the three STO runners have recorded lower ratings in 2005 and the other had made a notably poor debut. Looked short of true 5f pace on debut.  Profile [54 + 1 = 55]
  • May 19th: Doncaster
    6f Auction
  • Again supported at Wolverhampton from 9/1 to 6/1. Ran a similar race to debut being able to track the pace -by 2L at halfway on the bend - but outpaced in the straight and plugging on. Ran the rail which seemed to be an advantage on the day with runners going wide in the straight making little progress.  Estimate [55]
  • Steps up to 6f and after a reasonable break. Ought to show similar form.  Profile [56 + 12 = 68]
  • May 27th: Wolverhampton
    6f Maiden
  • 11/2 at Doncaster with a 3lb apprentice. Race split into 2 groups with the far side probably having a 2L advantage at halfway and the first three home on that side and clear of the stands' side. Ran on the stands' side and a neck off the leader there at halfway. Plugged on from there and first home on her side.  Estimate [44]
  • Unlikely to show improvement on her fourth run and back on the AW but worth noting her sire has a better record with runners in later season.  Profile [56 + 5 = 61]
  • June 4th: Epsom
    6f Listed
  • 8/1 at Wolverhampton in a race with a good pace where the short priced favourite failed. 3L off the lead at halfway and slightly outpaced on the turn to the straight. Plugged on in the last furlong to pick up the fading leader who had gone clear into the straight but did not get home.  Estimate [59]
  • Profile [63 + 5 = 68]
  • June 14th: York
    7f Listed
  • 33/1 at Epsom and her performances raises doubts about the form. Either she improved by more than 10lb or the placed horses ran more below form than assessed. The winner of that race runs in the earlier Coventry Stakes and should competitve to win/place if the form level is believable.
  • Ran on the rail and a professional effort. Within 3L of the lead at halway and made progress after halfway after the winner had cleared away. Went for a gap on the rail and would probably have got to 2nd past the fading leader but got spueezed out and dropped back to 5th. Estimate [72]
  • Steps up to 7f which should be an advantage on pedigree.  Estimate [75 + 5 = 80]
