The Ballydoyle filly that won the event in 2007, Peeping Fawn won four Group 1s and Misty For Me very impressive victor of this year's renewal of the Stobart Ireland-sponsored Pretty Polly Stakes now has that many successes at the highest level to her name after sluicing up in the ten furlong event under Seamie Heffernan.
Making all Misty For Me kicked clear of the threes on favourite, Midday from the quarter mile pole, and she stayed on strongly to prevail by an unflattering six lengths.
Aidan O’Brien said: "Henry (Cecil, trainer of Midday) said he was very impressed. He was happy with his own filly and he's a special man.
"We're delighted with Misty For Me and she had the form on the board. Things didn't work out at Epsom (5th in the Oaks) and that can happen. She's been very well since and Seamie gave her a beautiful ride and got her into a lovely rhythm.
"We learned a lot from Epsom and that was her first time over a mile and a half which we weren't sure about and we might have restricted her too much.
"That was a very slowly run race as they only raced for three furlongs. No horse really changed position then but we're very happy with her today and she got a great ride.
"It's very possible that she could go for the Irish Oaks now but we also have Wonder Of Wonders for that.
"Misty For Me would have no problem sticking at ten furlongs and we'll have to go home and talk about it."
Meanwhile Heffernan commented: "She is tough and genuine and I get a great tune out of her. I might have rode her wrong and she mightn't have handled the track at Epsom.
"I'd imagine the Irish Oaks would be the next step for her but Wonder Of Wonders was always the one that we considered to be more of a mile and a half filly."
