Finished fifth two starts ago then regained form last time out when she found one better over 500m in an A7 at this track. Racing well enough to feature in the finish.

Good effort last time when third (31.09) over 500m at this track. Coming off a solid run but has won just one of 16 runs. Will need plenty of luck.
