Form has been solid with minor placings at her last five starts. Last time out finished 2nd on May 11 over 318m at this track behind You Turn beaten 4.5 lengths (19.02) in a Class 1. Overdue a win and gets her chance to break through.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage fourth last time out over 318m at this track. Be tough to make an impression against this lot.
