She has loads of ability, we had her entered in loads of big races early in the season but she's been very disappointing,. Wayne actually said she's quite tough and when they came to her she fought them off. She's had a few excuses, she's been in season quite a bit and we found it had to work around that. There are a few times she's just disappointed but she has loads of ability and is probably the fastest two-year-old we have. They can be tricky and they aren't all straightforward. I wasn't going to back her today or any other day anyway. Wayne was second on her to a good horse, Apache Outlaw, when she was only beaten three-parts-of-a-length. He went on to be third in a Group 2 so her form is rock solid. We made an error in running her back in Roscommon after Fairyhouse. We stepped her up to seven-and-a-half in soft ground and she simply didn't stay. We ran her again soon after and she was Flat so I probably haven't been doing my job great with her. She's ran seven times but she was good there today and she's won so it's great. She's in the sales next week, we need to make room and I think she'll be a perfect filly for England. She'll win plenty of races and Wayne thought there was plenty there. Kevin Thomas Coleman, trainer

The Stewards requested a report from Kevin Thomas Coleman, trainer, as to the apparent improvement in form of Palace Gardens, placed first, as compared with its recent form.
