Recent efforts haven't been up to her best. Last start 6th (Sr1) over 1646m at Maitland was 5th-11 at the bell, beaten 11 m by Frontliner (2:00.30) in NR up to 48 on December 27 at $6. The run before 5th (Sr1) over 1609m at this track beaten 8 m by Bring Your Best (1:55.30) in NR up to 47 on December 20 at $11. Worth another chance. Deserves another chance.

Two back was beaten by 7 m finishing third after a quick start, behind Spirit King at this track over 1609m in a NR up to 48 on January 3 at $9.50. Then a handy effort when a close second after showing early speed, behind Deecee Rockin at this track over 1609m in a NR up to 47 on January 9 at $3.90. Ready to win.
