Has found improvement of late; respectable effort when third over 1m1f here (maiden plate) with Cool Reggae just behind two weeks ago; recent display was promising so looks like a player.

Proving a little expensive to follow but has maintained her consistent level of form; not beaten too far (2½l) here over 1m1f (maiden plate, not far behind Gimmesumluv) last month.

Career moving upwards; solid effort in a maiden juvenile plate (Turffontein) upped to this distance last month; should get involved.

Verdict
Not much between those likely to be in the mix but REGAL QUEEN is the selection. Gimmesumluv looks a decent option, and Cranberry Point looks dangerous.
