Seventh in the Group II VRC Wakeful Stakes last spring when first tried in stakes company, Improvise was subsequently spelled and with three runs under her belt was fit and ready to fire for her return to Black Type racing.

Improvise as a yearlingShe travelled behind the leaders in fifth place and found the line well to win the 1600 metre feature by a short neck.
