Didn't do much last time out, 7th (Sr4) over 2190m at Mildura, beaten 11 m by Shadow Celt (2:39.90) in NR 65 or better on May 1 at $81. Before that 6th (Fr5) over 1790m at Mildura was 7th-16.4 at the bell, beaten 9 m by Royal Appointment (2:10.10) in NR 56 to 64 on April 24 at $23. Hard to have on those efforts.

Last start 10th (Sr3) over 2190m at Mildura, beaten 13 m by Shadow Celt (2:39.90) in NR 65 or better on May 1 at $51. Before that, a game effort when 3rd (Sr1) over 1790m at Mildura, at the bell was 5th-12.4 beaten 5.5 m by Royal Appointment (2:10.10) in NR 56 to 64 on April 24 at $14. Capable of more than she has shown recently. Bold showing expected.

Last start 4th (Fr2) over 2190m after showing early speed at Mildura, beaten 8 m by Shadow Celt (2:39.90) in NR 65 or better on May 1 at $2.15. Before that, 11th (Sr1) over 2600m at Mildura well beaten by Jilliby Nitro (3:09.60) in LR No NR on April 11 at $81. Good signs last start and this looks a suitable contest.

Gave plenty of ground last start when well beaten into seventh behind Keayang Wasabi at Terang over 2180m in a NR 65 or better on May 5 at $1.95. Raced better the start before that where he won by 5 m as favourite (Fr5) at Globe Derby Park (2:41.10) beating Heza Punk Rocker in NR 70 or better on April 25 at $1.35. Rates highly. Will be right in the thick of things.
