Going well prior to missing the frame last start when well-fancied, finishing fifth in 34.91 over 595m at Sandown. Much better box this time. Top chance if at her best.

Won two starts back after racing on the pace at Sandown over 595m in 34.82. Couldn't repeat the feat last time out when fourth over 595m at Sandown at Restricted WIN level. Not suited by wide draw, tested under these conditions.

Caught the eye with a fast early split last time and setting up a one length win at Sandown over 515m in 29.96, making it two wins on end. Form strong and a huge chance to register the hat-trick.
