Worked home from the rear for 5th of 10 at Churchill Downs on May 21 over 1408m in a Maiden Claiming 76, beaten 7L by Galatina. Holds 53.5kg again under Danny Sheehy and draws barrier 1. That latest run was a step forward and gives her a platform to hold her form.

Draws barrier 2 and drops 8.5kg to 47.5kg under apprentice Brittany Troxtell, with blinkers added. Last start at Churchill Downs on May 21 she was 6th of 10 in a Maiden Claiming 76 over 1408m, beaten 12.8L from barrier 10; prior she was 5th of 7 at Turfway Park (1609m, Maiden Claiming 73), beaten 5.2L at SP 4.2. The lighter weight and inside draw offer a more economical set-up to find improvement.

Draws barrier 3 and drops 403m after finishing 7th of 10, 19.8L, in a Ratings Handicap 87 over 1710m at Oaklawn Park on 23 Apr when camped 5th throughout behind Pink Ruby. Carries 56.5kg, up 2.5kg, and her record sits at (6:0-0-2) with a placing from low barriers (1–3). The better draw and shorter trip give her a chance to be more competitive.

Beaten 2.5L into 4th at Churchill Downs on 24 May in a Maiden Claiming 68 over 1207m under 53.5kg after racing 6th in the run, and she now draws barrier 4. Previously ran 2nd at Turfway Park (1308m, Maiden Claiming 65) on 13 Mar, 1L behind Veuve On Tap at SP 2.9. Blinkers and the improved barrier give her a practical setup to be competitive.

Drops roughly 300m in trip and draws barrier 5 with Irad Ortiz, Jr. after finishing 8th of 12 at Horseshoe Indianapolis on May 26 (1609m, Maiden Claiming 74), beaten 14.5L after racing handy. Earlier runs at Turfway Park returned 8th over 1308m (Maiden Claiming 78, SP 13) and 7th over 1609m (Maiden Claiming 71, SP 15); fourth-up with blinkers, the sharper trip and improved gate could help her show more.

Drawn barrier 6 and carries 56.5kg with Javier Padron-Barcenas riding for Ismael Bahena. The 4yo filly is by Breaking Lucky out of Pulpit Fiction (Pulpit) with no listed gear changes. From this midfield gate at her allotted weight, the set-up looks straightforward and gives her a reasonable platform to perform.

Second-up after a tough debut at Churchill Downs on May 21, where she settled back and finished 9th of 10 in a Maiden Claiming 76 over 1408m, beaten 19L by Galatina under 53.5kg. Ben Curtis stays on and she draws barrier 7. Scope to improve with race experience, but needs to lift on that first-up effort.
