Won two starts back after racing on the pace at this track over 498m in 28.72. Couldn't repeat the feat last time out when fourth over 498m at this track at OPEN level. Needs to find a bit more to test these.

Flew the lids with a fast early split but had to contend with second when clocking 28.48 over 498m at this track. Has run very fast time at this course and distance. Go close on her best form.

Good effort to win last start by 7 lengths over 498m at this track in a handy (28.48), beating Bug Me More. Makes plenty of appeal on that latest effort.
