Three-year-old filly for Vladimir Cerin second-up after debuting at Santa Anita over 1207m on 3 Apr, finishing 7th of 7, beaten 14.8L on firm going. Sat handy early from barrier 1 before weakening; carries 55kg again with Armando Ayuso. Drawn wider in barrier 8 now and can improve with race experience. Has place claims with a cleaner trip.
