Her best effort so far produced a placed finish, meaning she got into the prize money without crossing the line first — proof that she's capable of competing, even if the win column remains empty. The form figures of 10, a pulled-up or fell run in the middle, and a ninth place most recently suggest some inconsistency, and the yard will be working to understand what brings out the best in her.
She's trained by John Joseph Hanlon out of Bagenalstown in County Carlow, a yard that has sent out 11 winners already this season — so this is a team that clearly knows how to get horses to win races. The fact that Sonna Lady hasn't broken through yet doesn't mean the belief isn't there; trainers of Hanlon's calibre tend to keep faith in a young horse until they find the right opportunity. With her last race just yesterday, she's very much an active project rather than a finished article, and the real question is simply whether the right race comes along at the right time.
