Fran's tactics work a Charm
The opening Irish Stallion Farms EBF Fillies Maiden at Leopardstown today went to the John Oxx trained, and apparent second-string, What A Charm, under Fran Berry. Mon 26th Oct
I'm delighted with her. The ground is very testing, sticky and holding, but of the three I ran she was the only one I knew for sure would go on the ground. I wasn't sure if she was 100 per cent fit on her first run back. She is a beautiful, big, strong, rangy filly and the only time she got her ground last year was when she won the November handicap. She's not the same filly on ground better than soft. The original objective was for her to have one or two runs with me and go back to Arthur Moore. She might go to the Finale Stakes at the Curragh at the end of October.

She's a grand filly. She hasn't had the ground all year as she loves it soft. I had her entered everywhere throughout the year but there was no sign of rain.
John M Oxx
What A Charm did a good job there. She ran well first time out at Cork but got hurt leaving the stalls on her last run. She stays well and likes a 'cut' in the ground. Fran (Berry) had it in his head to make the running today and it worked out well.
