Back in trip after finishing 4th of 6 at Finger Lakes over 1006m on 5 May, beaten 16L on FT going. Prior Tampa Bay runs at 1408m and 1609m produced 8th and 6th, with SP 6.5 in the mile. Blinkers go on and she draws widest in 10, with Oscar Gomez riding for James S. Acquilano. Needs to lift but has place claims if the gear change sharpens her.
