Marling was undefeated in four races as a two-year-old in 1991. On her debut she ran in a maiden race over five furlongs at Newmarket Racecourse on 3 May when she was ridden by Gary Carter. Starting the 5/4 favourite, she won the race comfortably by one and a half lengths from Twafeaj, a filly who went on to the Moyglare Stud Stakes. Later that month she won the Charles Heidsieck National Stakes at Sandown, beating Miss Bluebird by a neck.
