Jumped at big odds at debut, ran last of 12 at Saint-Malo on August 22 over 1800m, 18 len behind Poetic Dawn carrying 53kg at $37. Won't find this any easier so she is likely to struggle again.

By Mastery out of Extent on debut. Purchased for GNS 4,500 (Tattersalls 2023 Guineas Breeze Up Sale). But prefer to see without a strong market move.
