After watching this filly trail blaze in the Silver Salver at Haydock last week, there was plenty to like about the way she smashed good listed class rivals with utter distain. I make no bones about this being a classy performance, given that she’s only a three year old taking on her elders at this time of year.

Having just four runs prior to this, she won a Maiden over 6f at Beverley in decent time beating moderate rivals, but the level of improvement shown here suggest she’s not yet done as far as getting better is concerned.

I rated her firstly to the following 3yo Filly, Listed Class par of 3.9, which brought her rating out to be 111.23 after adjustments, meaning if she’d raced in a 3yo Listed race, she’d have beaten the par by some 11 Lengths!!

Next up was an All-Age Group 1 par, something which I’ve rated all the top class sprinters too, and low and behold she posted a borderline Group 1 time. I have her clocking 100.05 which surpasses the par by .05 which is an awesome effort for a three-year-old filly.

She’s going to be a serious tool and I recommend she’s one to follow, and she’ll more than likely take in a Group 3, or Group 2 engagement next where she’ll be seriously hard to stop and more than likely a decent price.

Ed McMahon has a Group sprinter on his hands as CARTIMANDUA can only improve through the ranks.
