Last time finished 2nd in a B5 on April 12 over 450m at this track behind Calgray Flyer beaten 3 lengths (28.86).

Races well at this course and distance. Last start finished last over 450m at this track beaten 10 lengths (29.46) behind Calgray Flyer in a B5 on April 12. Expect improvement on the latest effort. Great chance to atone.

Finished fourth two starts ago then regained form last time out when she found a couple better over 450m in a B5 at this track. Back on track last time but this looks a stern test.

Got back early in the race last start when fourth over 450m at this track. Before that won by one length at this track (28.69) beating Avongate Queen in a B5 on April 6. Is a danger.
