Turned in a solid effort in defeat 14 days ago, when third at Vaal in a maiden plate; appears to be going forwards and seems to have stepped up on previous form the last twice; recent display was promising so can't be ruled out.

Held in eighth when dropped back to 1m two weeks ago at Vaal in a maiden plate; can be a player at this level and seems to be improving based on last two runs.

First-time blinkers had no impact in a maiden plate at Vaal when finishing ninth of 12 two weeks ago; lightly raced with this just her fourth appearance; from a powerful yard; should not be far away.
