Achieved each of her five career wins at Turffontein but a proven winner with a wins-runs record of 5-13; respectable effort (beaten just over 2l, Turffontein) in January splitting Magic Tattoo and Tchaikovsky in a stakes race; big run on the cards; absence is no concern as has previously gone well off a break and she has won in classy company before.
