Flew the lids with a quick early split but had to settle for the minor money when third (22.79) over 390m at Warrnambool. Has been around the mark last couple and should make her presence felt.

Good effort at double-figure odds last time when third (23.06) over 390m at Shepparton. Drawn awkwardly. Has to do a bit more.
