Four-year-old mare is racing in fine form. Won her last two outings at Mildura both over 2190m. Last start posted a big 30 m win as favourite (Sr3) at Mildura (2:39.50) beating Calf Pen in NR 45 to 50 on February 25 at $1.60 at the bell was leading 12. Winning prospects.

Last start was well back in the run when 3rd (Fr5) over 2250m at Boort, at the bell was 6th-13.6 beaten 2.75 m by Lewielewis (2:48.20) in NR 56 to 64 on March 1 at $2.80. Two runs back 5th (Fr1) over 2240m after showing early pace at Melton beaten 40 m by Storms Collide (2:41.60) in 3yo No NR on August 30 at $34. Unlikely to threaten in this tougher assignment.

Two back was well beaten into eighth behind War Dan Buddy at Cranbourne over 2080m in a 4-5yo G3 No NR on January 31 at $41. Then a handy effort when beaten by 1.2 m finishing second despite hanging in on scoring up, behind Hesitate at Melton over 1720m in a 4yo G3 No NR on February 14 at $18. Progressing well. Finds a nice race and should feature.

Last start 6th (Sr3) over 1720m at Melton, at the bell was 7th-9.52 beaten 5 m by Rolinginthedeep (2:02.90) in 0W/15 0K stake on February 21 at $9. Two runs back 7th (Sr4) over 2240m at Melton, beaten 6 m by Timbimboo (2:43.20) in 0W/15 0K stake on February 14 at $81. This looks a far sterner task.

Solid performance when beaten by 1.5 m finishing second after showing early speed, behind Hes No Romeo at Shepparton over 1690m in a NR 65 to 79 on January 17 at $2.60. Then a handy effort when beaten by 5.5 m finishing second after being driven well back, behind Golden Tribe at Kilmore over 1690m in a NR 75 to 85 on February 7 at $6. Best form should see her go well again.

Failed to impress last start; 7th (Fr6) over 1720m after showing early speed at Melton beaten 11 m by Hesitate (1:58.90) in 4yo G3 No NR on February 14 at $12. Showed ability the run before when he won by 5.5 m as favourite when quickly away, (Fr2) at Kilmore (2:02.00) beating The Bride in NR 75 to 85 on February 7 at $1.35 at the bell was leading 1.1. Rates well on best form and worth including.

Last start 6th (Sr4) over 2195m after being wide early at Ararat was 3rd-3 at the bell, beaten 8 m by Ata Rangi (2:38.10) in NR up to 90 on February 27 at $1.80. Before that, a good run when 2nd (Fr5) over 1200m after showing early speed at Melton, beaten a head by Hi Manameisjeff (1:21.00) in LR No NR on February 14 at $10. May pay to overlook the run as he looks well-placed to bounce back to form.
