Four-year-old filly by Mehmas (sire) out of Misfortunate (dam)
Owner: Highclere Thoroughbred Racing - Jane Addams
Form figures: 144132
Racing Post Rating 118; Official Rating 112
She’s such a consistent filly and we think she’s a Group 1 winner in waiting, but she’s running out of time a bit to do it this season. She goes to the Flying Five, which looks like it could end up being almost a match between her and Bradsell, and we’re very happy with her. She won’t go to the Champions Sprint as the ground will be too soft over that stiff six furlongs at Ascot. I’ve always thought the Breeders’ Cup Turf Sprint could suit her. Her chance there would be very draw-dependent, but it’s an open division.
