Didn't do much last time out, 6th (Fr1) over 1609m at Geelong, beaten 7 m by Dance Affair (1:55.30) in NR 56 to 64 on May 30 at $16. Before that 5th (Fr1) over 1720m at this track beaten 12 m by Emily Vincent (2:01.70) in NR 60 to 69 on May 23 at $71. Others make more appeal.

Comes here second-up after only six days break. Lacklustre first-up performance when 8th (Fr1) over 1720m after showing early speed at this track, beaten 30 m by Sweet Ideal (2:03.20) in NR 57 to 67 on May 31 at $71. Unlikely to threaten in this tougher assignment.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished 2.25 m fourth behind Dance Affair at Geelong over 1609m NR 56 to 64 last start. Before that was beaten a head second at Ballarat over 2200m in NR 50 to 55 on May 22. Rates highly and expected to go well.

Showed ability the outing before when she won by a neck (Sr1) at Cranbourne (2:30.60) beating Grayson Red in 0-1 WIN on May 4 at $8.50 at the bell was 6th-9.25. Can play a role in the finish.

Last start was well beaten into eighth behind Dance Affair at Geelong over 1609m in a NR 56 to 64 on May 16 at $1.85. Raced better the start before that with a game effort when 2nd (Sr4) over 1660m at Hamilton was 8th-15.1 at the bell, beaten 3 m by Browniesatmidnight (1:57.40) in NR 56 to 64 on May 9 at $4.60. Big chance to atone.
