You Send Me rewarded support when getting off the mark on her second start in the fillies' maiden at Cork. Sibyl Charm was a massive drifter from 8/15 in the morning out to 5/2f and weakened out of contention once ridden in fourth over a furlong from home.

You Send Me raced keenly in the early stages of this seven-furlong contest and was switched by Mark Enright in rear of mid-division to make headway a couple of furlongs out.

Her stride soon devoured the testing ground as she powered to the front approaching the final furlong.

The daughter of Starspangledbanner was strong in the final 150 yards as she began to draw clear of Beauty Bella She won going right away by three and a-half lengths at 11/4 from 5/1.

The runner-up was 14/1 from 18s and came in two and three-quarter lengths clear of third-placed Thunder Dance (10/1 - 15/2).

Trainer Fozzy Stack said: "She is a big filly and was very weak when she ran last year so we put her away.

"We'll see how she comes out of this and, if it doesn't take too much out of her, we might look at a Guineas Trial. She is very big and still very raw and could even make a better filly next year than this year.

"She wants seven (furlongs) or a mile and I don't think she wants it that soft as she is a good-moving filly. She is a nice filly."

You Send Me was fifth on juvenile debut at the Curragh in September and holds an Irish 1,000 Guineas entry.
