Won two starts back over 520m at Q Parklands. Last start she finished 2nd in a Grade 4/5 on May 14 over 520m at Q Parklands behind Zipping Kimeli beaten 2.25 lengths (29.87). Draw likely to suit. Unbeaten in two starts from this box. Key runner.

Won two starts back when well in the market at Capalaba over 366m. Last start finished 4th over 457m at this track beaten 7 lengths (25.69) behind Canya Romance in a Grade 5 on May 23. Has been around the mark at his last couple and should make his presence felt.

Form has been good with a placing two starts ago and a win three runs back. Last time out finished 2nd in a Grade 5 on May 23 over 457m at this track behind Hold The Gavel beaten 1.3 lengths (25.49). Can't recommend against this lot.

Missed the frame last start when eighth but had been in strong form prior to that, winning two on end before placing two back. Has ability and looks a key chance.
