Mrs Kipling (3f Exceed And Excel – Quinzey by Carnegie) had been a good thing beaten first-up in the US when second to Acting Lady in the G2 Providencia Stakes and made no mistake last weekend with an emphatic 2.5 length victory.

“She relaxed and switched off for David (Flores),” Drysdale said.  “I don’t see any problem with her going 1800m or even 2000m.”

Drysdale will set the Exceed And Excel filly for the $150,000 Honeymoon Handicap (1800m) on May 31 and the $750,000 American Oaks (2000m) on July 5.

Mrs Kipling is from the Carnegie mare Quinzey whose second dam is Squan Song (Exceller).  She won a G3 among 14 career wins.
