back on turf, showed much improved form to maintain her unbeaten start to the campaign, the emphasis on stamina playing to her strengths; mid-division, travelled as well as any, switched 1f out, stayed on to lead final 50 yds; not in the same league as the likes of Minding or Ballydoyle, but is entitled to take her chance in the 1000 Guineas after this.
