Comes off a 16-day turnaround after a solid 2nd at Delaware Park over 1106m on 13 May, beaten 2L in Maiden Claiming 56 after running on from back in the field. Prior Gulfstream efforts at 1609–1674m were well held, so the rise in trip again is a query. Blinkers go on, and she drops 2kg to 53.5kg with Kevin Gomez up for Blake Kelly. Can feature with similar late strength.
