Improved sharply when second behind Distinction at this track last start over 450m (25.42). Gets back so might need a bit of luck.

Improved two runs back to score then won again last start over 450m at this track (24.82), beating Slick Eclipse. Has won from the squeeze box before. Looks well placed to make it three straight.

Form has been solid with minor placings at her last four starts. Last time out finished 2nd on February 23 over 450m at this track behind Ash Intention beaten half a length (25.24) in a Special conditions H. Overdue a win and gets her chance to break through.
