It was a good positive performance from a very consistent filly. She battled hard to win her stakes race in Cork and she did the same again there. She's a filly we hope to move on now. She's won twice at stakes level, and been multiple stakes placed, so next time we'll look to win a group race with her. Please God we'll have her for the year and I'll keep an open mind for different group races during the year but I just wanted to win another stakes with her today. I toyed with running in the group race at Naas last Sunday but the ground was just too heavy. She never wants it firm or never wants it heavy. It's lovely ground here today, much better ground than a lot of people expected coming. I'd say yielding is probably an accurate description of it and that's her ground. I had her in the Gladness on Sunday and the decision was whether to run in it or today and we went for today. Probably at the seven she was going easier than at the line so I'd say a mile is as far as she wants to go. She'll come on. All of mine at the moment are probably just a few weeks off. It's a long year as it runs to November this year. D K Weld, trainer
