Failed to impress last start; 9th over 1609m at this track, at the bell was 7th- beaten 11 m by This Girl Rules (1:54.10) in FM on October 4 at $45.50. Showed ability the outing before when she won by 1.5 m as favourite at this track (1:57.10) beating Honey So Sweet in FM on September 20 at $1.65 at the bell was leading. Looks the testing material.

Two back was beaten by 8 m finishing seventh behind Coeuratout Du Lac at this track over 1609m in a FM on October 11 at $20.15. Then a handy effort when beaten by 2.75 m finishing second behind Kobra Kate at this track over 1609m in a FM on October 18 at $4.25. Can build on that fine effort last start.

Didn't do much last time out, 7th over 1609m at this track, at the bell was 7th- beaten 5 m by The Divine Miss M (1:57.00) in FM on October 18 at $15.35. Before that 4th over 1609m at this track, at the bell was 5th- beaten 3.5 m by My Midnight Lover (1:58.10) in FM on October 11 at $25.85. Will need plenty of improvement to feature.
