Best Odds
Ran no sort of race (finished fifth) despite 6-4 odds (Vaal) last month in a maiden plate; best form so far in last two starts but hasn't been able to quite get her neck in front; booking of Callan Murray takes the eye.

Good effort when close up in a maiden plate at Scottsville two weeks ago; career is progressing and has arguably shown improved form the last twice; needs to be respected if building on last performance.
