Good win last start as odds-on favourite by 5 lengths over 480m at this track in a handy 29.70, beating Passing Kate. Still to win from this draw but has been in the placings five times. Top chance.

Could only manage sixth last time out over 480m at this track, a continuation of some ordinary form. Can't recommend her in this.
