Was disappointing when tenth at 3-1 (not far behind Royal Horizon) six months ago; winning form over C&D; this just her third race; has had some time off; this just her second run in a handicap; looks likely to be involved if excused most recent run as achieved maiden plate success two runs back and shown she can win fairly recently.
