Promising Takeko set to enhance De Bromhead's growing Flat profile

Trainer: Johnny Murtagh
Sixth, 6f two-year-old maiden, Fairyhouse, June 15

One of the highlights of the Flat season since resumption has been the form of Johnny Murtagh's team as they have made the transition from hitting the crossbar to consistently winning.

There are more winners to come, and this filly, from the first crop of Middle Park winner The Last Lion, could be one of them after making a promising debut at Fairyhouse. She was very slowly into her stride and could never get into a good position. For all that, she was starting to make headway when she was stopped in her run two furlongs out, and when switched to the outer over a furlong out she began to run on and saw out her race really nicely.
