Moderate effort last start when she finished 4th in an A1 on June 15 over 480m at this track behind Rambling Boy beaten 17 lengths (29.80). Needs to find a bit more to test these.

Could only manage fifth last time out over 480m at Enniscorthy (29.20) in an A1. Boasts good form here at the journey with nine wins and five minor placings from 18 tries. With a clean break looks hard to beat.
