Comes off a 13-day turnaround after a solid 3rd at Kyoto over 1200m on 26 Apr, beaten 1.8L at $5 after racing handy throughout from barrier 2. That was her first try at 1200m and first run at Kyoto, matching her best result to date. Earlier Hanshin 1400m runs were 6th and 14th, suggesting the drop to 1200m suits.
