Was among the placegetters latest at Geelong when a 2 length third but did clock a slick 22.65 over the 400m trip. Can sneak a place again.

Looks close to another win after her success on August 2 at Sale over 435m. Last start was fourth over 435m in 24.85, behind Flying Maverick. Capable of a good showing.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (20.18) in a Grade 4/5, finishing a 5 length fifth. Goes very well from the draw boasting two victories and three places from nine starts. Makes strong appeal.

Won at Shepparton over 390m two starts back but then was a little disappointing last start, fading at the end of 450m at Shepparton. Can't recommend in this field.
