It was a very good performance by her. I thought she did it very well when she won the Royal Whip here the other day and this was even better today,. She's won the race two years running and is a very valuable mare. I think she's entitled to have a crack at a Group 1 now so the Prix de L'Opera would be a logical target. She like the filly that won yesterday Eziyra. They are tough, game, genuine, courageous fillies. Eziyra will go for the Group 1 fillies and mares at Ascot. This race has been very lucky for us down through the years. We'll see how the two fillies get on on their next races before we make a decision (on staying in training). Shamreen is a four-year-old and doesn't have a lot more to achieve other than a Group 1. I'm delighted with the way things are going. I told everybody they wouldn't be back for Galway and of course nobody believed me. I said they'd be back coming up to Champions weekend and you saw that they would and they are. The plan always with this filly was the second half of the year. D K Weld, trainer
