Didn't fire two runs back then progressed nicely last time to be beaten just a nose into second over 500m at this track. Can take this out on the back of that sound recent effort.

In the money at this track at her last couple of starts, most recently finishing third over 500m. Won't find this any tougher. Right in this.

Unplaced two runs back then made impressive progress last time to be beaten just 1.75 lengths into third over 500m at this track. Heading in the right direction and well placed to be very competitive.

Got back early in the race last start when fourth over 500m at this track. Before that won by one length at this track (30.54) beating Draconian Times in an A6 on October 14. Likely to find this a bit tough.

Raced on speed on debut and gave a sight when second (30.36) at this track over 500m. Shapes well on debut effort and can measure up here.
