Capable of better than we have seen lately. Last start 12th (Sr3) over 1850m at Waterlea, well beaten by Ha'penny (2:20.80) on January 19 at $38.10. The run prior 11th (Fr2) over 1850m at Waterlea beaten 35 m by Avenger (2:21.80) on January 17 at $6.50. Expecting a much better run this time.

Recent efforts haven't been up to her best. Last start 6th (Fr5) over 1850m at Waterlea beaten 6 m by Ha'penny (2:20.80) on January 19 at $6.20. The run prior 6th (Sr1) over 1850m at Waterlea, beaten 11 m by Avenger (2:21.80) on January 17 at $14.40. Same draw this time and can do much better.

Failed to impress last start; 11th (Fr3) over 1700m at Cambridge Raceway beaten 60 m by Waltzing With Miki (2:04.30) on January 9 at $10.10. Showed ability the race before when she won by 4 m (Fr3) at Otaki (2:46.30) beating Call Security in on January 6 at $4.30. In the mix if on-song.

Two back was well beaten into thirteenth behind My Ten Guitars at Ashburton Raceway over 2400m in a 3yo+ on December 22 at $7.70. Then a handy effort when beaten by 5.5 m finishing second behind Westar Molly at Rangiora over 2000m on January 1 at $18.20. Expected to go well again.
