Racing Summary
DATE PROFILE/COMMENTS
April 11th:  Declared 
Lingfield 5f Maiden
  • Retained for solid price at Tattersalls October part 2 sales.
  • Reviewed at sales and rated only 58 with a below average chance of being competitive at her level at 2yo. She was small, lengthy, short and 'boatish'. She was an odd mover behind. In summary a lot had to improve for her to be competitive.
  • Now deceased sire has an average record with 2yos and gets winners at all distances. Can get early 5f runners.
  • Dam was a poor quality AW winner over 5-7f and did not run until the November of her 3yo season.
  • Trainer does not target 2yo racing. Debuts, especially early season tend to be poor. Has had a minor winner in both 2003-4 and both made poor northern debuts (Musselburgh & Thirsk) before developing to win 4-5TO. Both were his first runner of the season. 
  • In summary likely to be less good than the sales price may suggest and unlikely to be ready to compete close to her best on debut.  Profile [39]
  • April 20th: Lingfield AW
    5f Maiden Fillies'
  • Outpaced here on debut in a race run in a middling time and just kept on for a remote 5th (Estimate [42]). Finished just in front of a filly who runs in the Catterick seller today.
  • Trainer's runners tend to show reasonable improvement STO.  Profile [51]
  • May 1st: Salisbury
    5f Fillies' Condition
  • Showed improvement of around 14lbs to win at Lingfield Estimate [63]. Looked to have muscled up relatively well from the sales. The second from that race who was the disappointing favourite runs at Goodwood the day before this race.
  • Gives 3lb to the previous runner Rack And Ruin and 6lb to the newcomers. Trainers 2yos tend to show best form on STO and rarely show improvement beyond that rating. On profile this does not look a better type who might show a different development.  Profile [65]
  • May 1st: Salisbury
    Post Race
  • Drifted from 11/4 to 7/2 as second favourite with support for Rack And Ruin. Broke well and set a strong pace on the rail in a duel with Rack And Ruin (who ran freely & was restrained). Led by a neck at halfway and the pace meant that she stalled from 1.5f out and Dream Rose who had sat 2 lengths off the pace was able to make a effort to challenge as Rack And Ruin dropped away. 
  • She was tired in the last furlong but plugged on to hold the newcomer. Looked the best size and build in a moderate group given the race quality. Showed slightly improved form and credit for winning despite the pacemaking. Can probably improve a little further. Estimate [70]
  • May 13th: Newbury
    5f Fillies' Conditions
  • Penalised 6lb for her last win and gives between 3lb to 9lb to the other fillies. Ought to be able to rate low 70s and has shown the best pace of the runners in this field and this would help if the race turns into a '2f sprint'.  Profile [74 - 3 = 71]
  • May 30th: Sandown
    5f Listed
  • 11/4 at Newbury and set an average pace. Easily outpaced by the impressive Flashy Wings and jockey just did enough to ensure she held 2nd in a three runner race.  Estimate [63]
  • Unlikely to show improvement here and we've now seen what happens when she meets a useful 2yo.  Profile [72 + 2 = 74]
