Main Desire justified a measure of market support when impressing, going a shade over five panels, in her May 2 Nottingham debut last time, and maintained her perfect tally with a game score in this pointer to the June 21 G2 Queen Mary S. at Royal Ascot. Reined back to race handy in an overall sixth after an alert getaway in this black-type bow, she powered into the firing line soon after passing the quarter-mile marker and kept on strongly under a final-furlong drive to deny Neola for a career high nearing the line. “She's only a little filly and we were concerned about the [soft] ground beforehand,” said winning rider Daniel Tudhope. “It wasn't ideal, but she handled it fine and will definitely be better on quicker ground. I tried to keep a hold of her as I didn't want to hit the front too soon. She's such a good traveller and got the job done when I asked her to quicken.”
The €40,000 TIRSEP yearling is out of Listed Marble Hill S. runner-up Purple Glow (Ire) (Orientate) and is kin to a yearling colt by Rip Van Winkle (Ire). Purple Glow is a granddaughter of MGISW US champion Relaxing (Buckpasser), whose four black-type performers include US champion and MGISW sire Easy Goer (Alydar), GI Go For Wand S. heroine Easy Now (Danzig) and GI Ballerina S. winner Cadillacing (Alydar), who in turn is the dam of GI Futurity S. victor Strolling Along (Danzig).
