Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage seventh last time out over 520m at Wentworth Park. This looks too tough.

Showed strong pace early but found one better when a 2.25 lengths second over 400m The Gardens in 22.79. Has claims if at her best.

Recorded a 0.8 lengths win (22.60) in a Grade 4/5 last time at this track. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed two times. Has ability and should be around the money.
