Holds very weak claims after two bumpers and Tuesday's 1m AW maiden.
Only eighth of 14 in 1m event at Southwell in sole 2yo start but is evidently thought capable of better, having attracted support.
5,000euros foal, 1,200euros yearling, 165,000euros (breeze-up) 2yo; by Cotai Glory; dam unplaced 7f/1m AW 2yo (RPR 60), half-sister to useful US 1m/1m1f winner K P All Systems Go; one of several newcomers in the field; market informative.
Has made the frame in 7f contests at Kempton and Southwell; not crying out for this extra furlong judged on pedigree but she is the form pick; admittedly sets only an ordinary standard.
Brings the worst form, having achieved zilch in 1m event at Nottingham.
Finished fifth of nine in C&D maiden, faring best of the runners who started at triple-digit odds but recording a meagre RPR; perhaps one for handicaps later on.
Showed some promise with fifth of 13 over C&D, then raced freely and looked a non-stayer over 1m2f at Yarmouth; may show progress returned to this scenario with hood applied.
Only sixth of seven in 7f maiden at Kempton but seemed to need the outing/experience; from a good family and looks open to improvement.
Kingman filly; dam 7f-1m2f scorer (including Listed; RPR 102), sister to 1m2f AW winners Suitor and Plead, half-sister to winners Golden Horde (Commonwealth Cup), Camille Pissarro (7f 2yo Group 1) and Line Of Departure (6f Listed); notable connections; interesting debutante.
Shaped encouragingly with fourth of 11, best of the newcomers, in 1m event at Yarmouth; recorded a modest RPR but may improve with the experience under her belt; out of an AW scorer.
32,000gns foal, 75,000euros yearling; by Zoustar out of French 9.5f/1m2f AW winner (including Listed; RPR 94); will act well on the surface if taking after her dam; the betting may offer further guidance.
Newcomer by Zarak and first foal of 7f/1m-winning (including US; RPR 96) daughter of French Listed-placed 1m4f scorer; in good hands; heed the market signals.
