The mare is yet to finish out of the placings in any country starts for the Euroley combination with her only four unplaced efforts in 19 Australia runs coming either at Menangle or Melton.

Clocking a mile rate of 1:52.7 at Menangle on Saturday, Kennedy was pleased to break through.

"I was definitely happy with the way the mare went," Kennedy said.

"It was probably the run we were looking for in that race - lead and hand up to one of McCarthys rather than getting hammered by one.

"She went a slower time than the other two races she has been but it is probably the best she has been.

"The two races leading up to that have been really good."

It proved a late night with Kennedy held back three hours after a swab.
