Readied for her bid with a quarter mile to go, the 6-4 favourite quickened smartly to seize control passing passing the eighth pole and was pushed out from there to easily account for Pretty Strange (Ire) (Siyouni {Fr}) by two lengths. First of Spring, a full-sister to a yearling colt by Galileo (Ire), is the first winner out of G1 1000 Guineas-winning highweight Homecoming Queen (Ire) (Holy Roman Emperor {Ire}) herself kin to four black-type performers including MG1SW European Horse of the Year Dylan Thomas (Ire) (Danehill), G1 Cheveley Park S.-winning highweight Queen's Logic (Ire) (Grand Lodge) and G1 Epsom Oaks runner-up Remember When (Ire) (Danehill Dancer {Ire}). Queen's Logic has produced MGSW G1 Sprint Cup third Lady of the Desert (Rahy) and Remember When is dam of GSW G1 Nassau S. runner-up Wedding Vow (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}). Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, €12,500. Video, sponsored by Fasig-Tipton.
