Didn't make the placings last time at this track (30.64) in a Grade 4/5, finishing a 6 length eighth. Goes well out of this box with a win and four minors. Makes appeal on best.

Charged out of the boxes with a strong early sectional but swamped late when a close up fourth (30.46) at this track over 525m. Expected to go very well.

Won two starts back after racing on the pace at Ballarat over 450m in 25.50. Followed that up with a minor placing over 525m at this track at Grade 4/5 a week ago. Form from this box is very strong including two wins. Winning hope with the right run.

Didn't finish two back and couldn't make the frame last time when she finished 5th on May 22 over 595m at Sandown behind Vista Weird beaten 5 lengths (34.61) in a Grade 4/5. Strong form emerging from the that last run. Leading chance.
