Glitter And Glory

What is striking about Glitter and Glory's recent form is the consistency of placing. In her last six races she has picked up four places — two seconds, a third, and a fifth — which suggests she is competitive and capable of running well even when she does not quite get her nose in front. That makes the five-month gap since her win at Dundalk worth noting. Shane Foley, her regular rider, has partnered her in six races and won once aboard her, a 17 per cent win rate that hints at what might be possible when the pieces fall into place. Given the trainer's plan to campaign her in the fillies' races over the coming weeks, and her proven ability at seven furlongs to a mile on the right sort of ground, there is room for another win if conditions align and she settles into her rhythm again.
