Zarkava arrived at the track with a reputation strong enough to entice punters to bet the newcomer down to 9-10 at the tills and the Aga Khan homebred didn't disappoint with a professional display. Stalking the leaders in fourth, she made headway under gentle coaxing in the straight to challenge with 300 meters remaining and comfortably asserted under whipless encouragement thereafter to defeat Trully Belle (Ire) (Bahri) by an easy two lengths. Lifetime Record: 1 start, 1 win, Eu10,500.
