Price is shorter than the model makes it.
Winning 2yo debut was followed by a stout effort in a Group 3 over C&D (also good to firm) when leading from some way out and looked like holding on but couldn't quite sustain her effort; has rarely had her ground since but she ran well against an improver on AW (7f) in October on final start for the Crisfords; sold for 150,000gns; she might well have a good 4yo season.
