Hasn't threatened at her last couple but she does have a good record at the track and trip, including five wins. Rates highly and looks tough to beat.

Good effort to win last start by 6 lengths over 515m at Sandown in a handy (29.67), beating Noah's Best. This appears within his reach.

Looks close to another win after her success on May 31 at this track over 525m. Last start was second over 515m in 29.86, behind Slick Splits. Solid chance with even luck.
