Could only manage sixth last time out over 500m at this track, adding to some plain results of late. Hard to have this time.

Failed to fire off a two months break when finished last in a HCP on December 30 over 500m at this track behind Sofias Dash beaten 7 lengths (31.41). Wait till she shows more. Failed to threaten last start and looks tested again.
