Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted July 1, 2018 Journalists Share Posted July 1, 2018 So Perfect (Scat Daddy), who earned ‘TDN Rising Star’ status in her Apr. 22 unveiling going five furlongs at Navan, slipped down to fourth when upped to six panels in the May 20 Listed Naas Fillies’ Sprint and lined up for Sunday’s G3 Grangecon S. at The Curragh bouncing back off a close-up fourth returned to five in the June 20 G2 Queen Mary S. at Royal Ascot. Steadied under cover in a share of fourth through halfway, the 6-4 favourite was rowed along approaching the two pole and kept on resolutely under a final-furlong drive to deny Skitter Scatter (Scat Daddy) by a half length in the shadows of the post, with Cava (Ire) (Accalamation {GB}) the same margin back in third. “She had a lovely run at [Royal] Ascot and just got drawn a little bit out by herself there, but that was lovely and she was able to get a little bit of cover today,” explained trainer Aidan O’Brien. “She’s not there yet and there is plenty more to come from her, and Ryan [Moore] was delighted with her. She is a big, strong filly and might go to the [July 13 G2] Cherry Hinton [S. at Newmarket]. I think she’ll stay further and, as a Scat Daddy, I’d say she’d like fast ground.” SO PERFECT, 126, f, 2, by Scat Daddy1st Dam: Hopeoverexperience, by Songandaprayer2nd Dam: Tom’s Cat, by Storm Cat3rd Dam: Shouldnt Say Never, by Meadowlake ($400,000 Ylg 17 KEESEP).
