Finished fourth two starts ago then regained form last time out when she found a couple better over 270m in a D2 at this track. Heading in the right direction and well placed to fill another top-three spot.

Good effort to score last start by a neck over 270m at this track in 16.22, beating Salacres Berezia. Deserved winner last time after finishing in the money two on end prior to that. Can make it two on the trot.
