So Lovely has plenty of options after Foxrock success So Lovely landed the odds with a smooth display in the juvenile fillies' maiden that got Leopardstown under way. Aidan O'Brien's filly, by Wootton Bassett out of the top-class Love, had taken the runner-up berth in her first two starts which saw her go off 2/5 favourite for this seven-furlong assignment. She raced close to the pace and led narrowly three furlongs out. The margin was increased rounding the home bend and she kicked on for Wayne Lordan approaching the final furlong. She was nicely clear in the closing stages and wasn't troubled by second-placed Zenith Blaze (14/1) who cut the gap to a length and a half on her promising debut. Isle Of Capri flashed home for third at 11/1. Stable representative Chris Armstrong said: "She came into this obviously with two lovely runs in two very good maidens. "She's a filly that's crying out for a mile. Just the way the programme presented, we thought we'd bring her here and Aidan thought she'd be very hard to beat. The plan is to step her up to a mile. "She could be a very high-class filly going forward. Come the end of the year, she could be a filly for something like the Fillies Mile or the Boussac. Lovely to have the three runs under her belt and stepping up to a mile will be her forte." Additional reporting by John O'Riordan
