Latest effort finished last over 515m at this track beaten 16 lengths (30.45) behind Kiwi Evoca in a Grade 4/5 on November 5. Had been in strong form, hitting the frame two times on end, before the latest effort. Can atone.

Last start finished eighth over 515m at this track, beaten 20 lengths (31.20) behind Morning in a Grade 5 on November 5. Mixing her form but shapes as a genuine contender under these conditions.
