Second-up she was 6th of 8 at Western Fair Raceway over 1609m on 18 May, beaten 15L at $9.50 after racing 5th/6th throughout. Last start 7th of 7 at Western Fair Raceway over 1609m on 25 May, beaten 27L at $61, never closer behind Butter Me Up. Damian Maclellan rides for Chantal Mitchell from barrier 7. Needs sharp improvement but has place claims with a kinder run.

Returned with a win at Western Fair Raceway over 1609m on 25 May, settling 5th then improving to score by 2.5L with Austin Sorrie at $1.40 on a FT track. Unbeaten from one start and perfect at this trip. Drawn barrier 8 again for Lindsey Kerr after a 14-day turnaround. Can feature with a repeat of that effort.
