Comment: Is a multiple winner this year; producing fairly consistent form; went off 28-1 when good second in a starter allowance two weeks ago; is passed over as yet to fully convince at this level.

11/4

Comment: Creditable fifth at Churchill Downs over 6f (allowance optional claimer) four weeks ago; proven that she knows how to get her head in front (seeking an eighth win) but no longer appears to be improving; tag has been dropped to $75k; been struggling to get her head in front recently so easy enough to take on.
