Ouija in good form ahead of Dubai return

Ouija Board pleased connections in her latest piece of work as she continues her preparations for a planned seasonal return next month in Dubai.

The five-year-old Cape Cross mare, victorious in December in the Hong Kong Vase, enjoyed a spin under Chris Hinson yesterday that left trainer Ed Dunlop satisfied.

It was the latest piece of work the multiple Group One winner has done this year in the lead-up to the Sheema Classic on March 25 at Nad Al Sheba.

Speaking on his website, www.edunlop.com, the Newmarket handler said: “I am pleased with the way she worked. She didn’t do a huge amount. It was her third piece. She’d previously done two gentle canters.

“She seems to be taking her work well and continues to look well. Touch wood, things are going in the right direction.”
