Has shown little speed out of the boxes and drifts back in her races. The latest effort was a 11 length fifth over 390m at this track. Be tough to make an impression against this lot.

Won two starts back after racing on the pace at Warrnambool over 450m in 25.85. Followed that up with a minor placing over 450m at this track at Grade 5 four days ago. Looks a solid contender.
