June 13th: Warwick
5f Maiden Fillies |
Opened 7/4 and finished there after going out to 5/2. Taken to post early
and wore a blanket for stalls entry. Race run in driving rain and the first
race on the card and rain starting to get in.
Broke ok but got a slight bump from Oranges And Lemons who broke right
handed. Ran freely in the first furlong and held by the jockey. 2L
off the lead in the last rank after 1f. Travelled in behind ok and 5th
just over 1L off the lead at halfway. Made an effort to go through to 2nd
before 1f out as others faded. Once clear she then hung left while making
the effort. The jockey just rode hands and heels inthe last furlong after
getting her balanced. Bigger than the winner - Playful. Estimate

Godolphin debuts have been mixed and below the normal standard so far.
She clearly has quirks (TP early, blanket, hanging) but made an acceptable
debut. Profile [71]
