Racing well of late. In the money two starts back at this track then finished runner-up at her latest appearance in an A3 at this track over 480m (29.42). Sure to play a major role.

Made debut when well supported and was safely held in fifth (29.80) over 480m at this track. Harder here and place prospects appear best.
