Anthem Alexander is on course to take on the colts in the Keeneland Phoenix Stakes at the Curragh on August 10.
The Eddie Lynam-trained filly booked her place in the five-furlong Group One with a neck call over Tiggy Wiggy in the Queen Mary Stakes at Royal Ascot.
"She's got a great constitution. That was her third run in four weeks. She took it great," the County Meath handler told At The Races.
"She was out this morning and came back in after exercise full of beans. She's in great order and I'm very happy with her.
"I think she's sprint-bred and a natural. I think she'll get six, but she will be a five- or six-furlong filly.
"She's by a champion sprinter, Starspangledbanner, and is out of a high-class racemare (Lady Alexander), who won a Molecomb. She's a half-sister to Dandy Man, who was a top-class sprinter.
"She should be a sprinter and we're looking forward to her. We think she should get better.
"I've talked to Noel (O'Callaghan, owner) and the Phoenix Stakes is the way we're leaning at the moment."
