She was smart enough to sneak her way to the finish line in a way that no-one realised it was her. She was also smart enough to know a good idea when she heard one and set aside her prejudices and pride in favour of what she knows would work.

Let's put it this way: She's smart for a dragon-raised. She's certainly not as smart as Spike, who has sat in on Equestria's best possible education and clearly learned from it. However, in the intellectual 'kingdom of the blind' that is the Dragon Lands, she's queen! That's why I'd like for her to develop a friendship with Twilight and learn all these obvious methods (originated mostly by ponies) that would have made life for the dragons so much better but they refused to even ask about due to pride and their belief that strength and will are the most important things.
