Didn't do much last start, 6th (Fr5) over 2000m at Rangiora beaten 11 m by Goorambat Art (2:29.30) in 4yo+ on November 20 at $38.50. Before that 12th (Fr7) over 2000m at Rangiora, well beaten by Moet Shard (2:27.90) in 5yo+ on November 8 at $8. This looks far too tough.

Expected Settling Position: Leader

Last start was well beaten into twelfth behind Scarlett's Legacy at this track over 2000m in a 4yo+ on November 24 at $3.30. Performed better the start before with a good run when 3rd (Fr6) over 2400m at Ashburton Raceway beaten 2.5 m by The Bettor Major (2:56.80) in 3yo+ on November 14 at $6.40. Rates highly and can do much better.

Recent efforts haven't been up to her best. Last start 8th (Fr1) over 2000m at this track, beaten 30 m by Scarlett's Legacy (2:33.20) in 4yo+ on November 24 at $5.10. The run previous 7th (Fr4) over 2400m at Ashburton Raceway beaten 11 m by The Bettor Major (2:56.80) in 3yo+ on November 14 at $56.10. Rates highly on best form and can bounce back.
