After race at Gowran Park Wed, 10th Aug, 2022 (1st)

She was a very cheap purchase in Newmarket for four grand. She’s won around here before and had solid enough form before losing her way a bit. She did that well enough and you won’t see her again until Laytown. Mark Devlin and the lads just love Laytown. She’s a fun horse and Adam gave her a great ride.
