After race at Dundalk Fri, 26th Jan, 2018 (1st)

She's a fair filly and we just had to get her head right more than anything. She's got it all together now and has a fair bit of ability,. She was nice and relaxed in the race and before it as well. She just didn't get home over two miles the last day.

A P O'Brien

After race at Dundalk Fri, 1st Dec, 2017 (1st)

She loves you pulling out of her and my god was I pulling out of her for most of it,. further . I think getting black-type will be no problem for her and if she keeps improving like this you wouldn't know. There is nowhere really here for her to go from there. I don't know if they'd want to look at the Winter Derby or something but obviously I'll leave that to Dad and JP (McManus, winning owner).

A P O'Brien

After race at Dundalk Fri, 24th Nov, 2017 (1st)

she's just a progressive filly. She always worked nicely at home but it just took her a while to get her act together on the track but she's showing the ability she has now. She travels beautiful; before, she was kind of quitting off it but now she's quickening and galloping out off it. The second favourite (Carried) was in front of me so I wanted to put him to bed when I could and then worry about what was coming from behind me after that. She's probably not far off being capable of getting some black-type - she has ability, but I don't know if there is anywhere she can go at this time of year.

A P O'Brien

After race at Dundalk Fri, 17th Nov, 2017 (1st)

She handles the surface well and that's her second win here. She's been progressing from each run and could be a nice filly going forward. She travelled well, went forward and kept going well. She has a fantastic pedigree (half-sister to Motivator), so every win to her is important.
