Hit the ground running with a fast early sectional but found one better when runner up over 390m at this track clocking 22.69. The form from her last run is stacking up nicely. Follow up.

Charged out of the boxes with a strong early sectional but bumped into one better when runner up (26.16) at Geelong over 460m. Looks well placed and should prove hard to beat.

Was out of the placings last time at Ballarat but prior to that had been racing consistently, notching three minors in a row. Tough draw to overcome and looks tested this line up.
