Unplaced two runs back then made impressive progress last time to finish third over 955m at this track. Better last time but not convinced this is her race.

Has been in great form, scoring two in a row before finishing second (30.18) last time at this track over 500m. Rates highly and looks tough to beat.

Finished fifth two starts ago then regained form last time out when she found one better over 500m in an A3 at this track. Looks to have turned things around so follow her up.

Good effort after racing in the second half of the field and improving to score in an A8 by nose at this track over 500m (30.12). Hard to entertain this time.
