Goodwood and York beckon for She’s Quality

Jack Davison is going in search of a flatter track with She’s Quality after she was once again beaten into second place in the Coral Charge at Sandown.

The four-year-old led for the majority of the Group Three contest but was just headed by her nemesis Rumstar at the top of hill to go down by three-quarters of a length.

It was the third time in succession that the daughter of Acclamation had to settle for silver after also hitting the crossbar in the Palace House at Newmarket and Temple Stakes at Haydock.

County Meath handler Davison said: “I think the stiffness of the track was probably the difference between her winning and losing really. I think’s she’s probably put in a lifetime-best so you have to take the positives out of it.

“The winner, it’s the second time he’s beaten us so take nothing away from him. He just finished the trip a bit stronger, didn’t he?

“It’s one of those things. We just need to get a quick five furlongs and we’ll have her day.”

Davison is determined to get his stable star her Group-race victory and has turned his attention to Goodwood and York.

He added: “She’s very fast so we’re going to try to stick to a fast five furlongs. Goodwood (King George Qatar Stakes) would be high on the agenda and the Nunthorpe. They’re the two obvious targets for the next couple of races.”
