Last start ran last of 14 at Cagnes-sur-Mer All Weather on February 11 over 2000m, 34 len behind Livry carrying 59kg at $29. The run before that tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by a long-neck at Marseille Vivaux January 4 over 2000m defeating Chant Dore with 58.5kg at $6.80. Hard to fault if at her best.

Before that won by 1.0 len at Cagnes-sur-Mer All Weather January 12 over 1600m defeating Pertusato with 58.5kg at $4.90. Better than that latest effort and can improve sharply.
