Comes here off a 58-day let-up. Most recently ran second last of 12 at Compiegne on June 9 over 1800m, on a slow track; 9 len behind Parvage with 58kg at $11. The start before that 4th of 16 at Compiegne on May 20 over 1800m, long-neck behind Axiokersa with 60kg at $16. Capable of a big finish so don't write her off.

Second-up 4th of 10 at Aix-les-Bains on July 7 over 1800m, on a slow track; 11 len behind Basha carrying 55.5kg at $7.40. Should be right in the finish.
