Facing tougher opposition than she has faced recent starts and current form just not to what is required to figure. Has failed to show enough to come into contention here.

Didn't make the placings last time at The Gardens (23.30) in a Grade 5, finishing a 6 length fourth. Goes very well from the draw boasting four places from six starts. Looks suited here and rates a leading chance.
