Recent efforts haven't been up to her best. Last start 10th (Fr5) over 1650m after showing early speed and racing wide at Bendigo was 5th-6.28 at the bell, beaten 7 m by Willows Girl (1:58.20) in NR 58 to 66 on April 18 at $71. The start before 7th (Fr2) over 1650m at Bendigo beaten 11 m by Dangerous (1:57.20) in NR 65 or better on March 25 at $19. Can make amends.

Resuming after 18 months off the scene. Ran only once last campaign running when well beaten into sixth behind Lennys Angel at Menangle over 1609m in a NR 49 to 55 on October 15 2024 at $1.85. Rates highly. Will be hard to beat despite the layoff.

Didn't do much last start, 9th (Sr3) over 1720m at Melton, beaten 22 m by Lambro Mach (2:01.70) in NR 56 to 64 on April 24 at $41. Before that 9th (Sr2) over 1650m at Bendigo, at the bell was 10th-12.57 beaten 7 m by Willows Girl (1:58.20) in NR 58 to 66 on April 18 at $101. Will not find this easy. Unlikely to threaten in this tougher assignment.

Resuming after six-and-a-half months off the scene. Finished off last preparation recording by a head as favourite after showing early speed, (Fr7) at Riverina Paceway (2:45.60) beating Maginot Line in NR up to 48 on October 24 at $1.45 at the bell was leading 3.3m on the pegs. Previous preparation first-up posted a big 15 m win as favourite when quickly away, (Fr1) at Bendigo (1:59.30) beating Tellmeboutit in 3yo+ MAIDEN on June 25 at $1.55. One of the main contenders.

Resuming after a spell of six months. Finished off last preparation when well beaten into seventh behind Sao Paulo Simba at Melton over 2240m in a 3yo No NR CG on November 7 at $51. Previous preparation first-up won by 10 m as favourite after showing early speed, (Fr2) at this track (2:02.40) beating Julz Marie in 3yo MAIDEN on August 26 at $1.40. First-up winner in the past and is a leading contender.

Expected Settling Position: Leader
