Screen Star was held in high enough regard to merit an entry in the Sept. 29 G1 Fillies’ Mile at Ascot and was considered forward enough to tackle more experienced rivals in this first at-bat. Justifying her lofty engagement, the 7-2 chance proved more than up to this task and exploded onto the scene with an eyecatching debut performance. Akward from the gate, the grey homebred recovered without fuss to seize the initiative after the opening exchanges and retained control thereafter. Coaxed away from toiling rivals inside the final quarter mile, she powered further clear from the furlong marker to plunder a highly impressive 11-length success at the expense of Thompsons Walls (Ire) (Trans Island {GB}) in a fast time. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, £2,817.
