THRILLING MUSE (1) was safely held in tougher company last start at this track, but prior to that won by 1.5 lengths at Cambridge Raceway (38.52) beating OPAWA DALLAS in a Class 1 on May 22.

Hit the frame latest (47.86) when third at this track in a Class 2/3 H. Has two successes and two minors from seven starts from box 8. Looks hard to beat with even luck.
