Won two starts back after racing on the pace at Ballarat over 450m in 25.50. Followed that up with a minor placing over 525m at this track at Grade 4/5 a week ago. Form from this box is very strong including two wins. Winning hope with the right run.

Didn't finish two back and couldn't make the frame last time when she finished 5th on May 22 over 595m at Sandown behind Vista Weird beaten 5 lengths (34.61) in a Grade 4/5. Strong form emerging from the that last run. Leading chance.
