Good record here of three wins from 19 runs; finished tenth of 12 19 days ago; this is competitive and others have more pressing claims.

Had a couple of these behind her when eighth here three weeks ago; wins-runs record of 5-21; she takes on the boys here; this looks a fair heat so may have to settle for supporting role at best.

Accounted for Lucky Lad and Quantum Theory over 6f here (Grade 3) in November; winner of three races at this venue and on a hat-trick after last win; in with a shout with lower class a definite positive - goes well fresh.
