This season has seen numerous successful occasions when Jim Bolger has brought out a winner quickly so the presence of Vocal Nation just four days after her Sligo victory is a pointer. She'll improve again but, like Curragh winner Toogoodtobetrue, the concession of weight to TAMADHOR may be beyond her. Kevin Prendergast's filly, the first foal of a winning miler, was unfortunate to be caught in the closing stages at Galway and with that under her belt should progress enough to go one better. Flowing cost $300,000 as a yearling and is the first foal of a winner in the USA while Pour Deux cost 260,000gns and hails from the family of Derby winner Pour Moi.
