The regally-bred Beta Leo had pleased connections with encouraging homework, and business at the tills reflected stable confidence. She went off for this debut as the 8-5 choice and duly delivered with a degree of panache. Racing under cover in the second rank until easing closer from halfway, she made her challenge approaching the final eighth and was pushed out in the latter stages to comfortably best Heaven's Heart (Ire) (Captain Rio {GB}) by a neck. “She is a filly I really like and has been working well at home, so I have been waiting for her debut,” commented trainer Pascal Bary. “She has a lot of scope and ought to improve from her first run and develop into a nice filly.” Lifetime Record: 1 start, 1 win, €12,000.
