Ordinary effort last start when she was slow out over 525m at Taree Super Track. Prior to that won by 2.25 lengths at Richmond (22.74) beating Tell Me Again in a NG on August 3. Rates highly and looks tough to beat.

Comments

Did a good job two starts back at Nowra to win by 6 lengths in 21.22, beating Just Stop It. Last start finished 4th on August 22 over 350m at Goulburn behind Sutton Bolt beaten 7 lengths (20.72) in a Mix 2/3. Looking to others this time.
