Resuming after a break of nine months. Finished off last preparation second last of 13 at Lyon-la-Soie December 15 over 2150m, 10 len behind Joboah carrying 55kg at $30. When resuming last campaign seventh of 12 at this track April 16 2025 over 2000m, 5 len behind Momo Nelson carrying 56.5kg at $26. Plenty of more attractive propositions in this race.

Form hard to fault. Comes here off a 34-day let-up. Last start won by 1.3 len at Vichy on July 30 over 2400m on a rain affected track defeating Porto Giunco carrying 57kg at $5.10. The run before that 3rd of 11 at Salon-de-Provence on June 17 over 2400m, 6 len behind Propre Soeur carrying 55kg at $8.60. Big chance to go back-to-back.

Form hard to fault. At the latest run sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 3rd of 9 at Vichy on August 12 over 2000m, 2.75 len behind Windjana carrying 55kg at $5.60. Before that 2nd of 8 at Vichy on August 6 over 2400m, on a slow track; 0.5 len behind Howabouthatnow carrying 54.5kg at $15.10. Best form should see her measure right up.

Resuming after a spell of 12 weeks. Finished off last campaign third of 8 at Chatillon-Chalaronne June 8 over 2700m, 1.0 len behind Fete Joyeuse with 64.5kg. When resuming last campaign ran last of 7 at Cavaillon March 1 over 2200m, soft track; 11 len behind San Teodorico carrying 58kg. A big run will not surprise.

Most recently sat on the speed throughout before fading 9th of 12 at Deauville All Weather on August 11 over 2500m, 14 len behind Bella Ciao with 54.5kg at $12.30. Before that 2nd of 13 at Vittel on July 19 over 2400m, 1.5 len behind Picnic Royal with 51kg at $41.50. Not likely to buck the trend this time.
