Second run from a spell 4th of 11 at Morphettville in the LR Pt A Gneas on April 11 over 1800m, on a slow track; 2.25 len behind Mcwoody with 57.5kg at $2.70. Peaks now and should be hard to hold out.
Third-up today and won third-up previously. First-up 8th of 10 at this track 3yo Hcp on March 28 over 1400m, on heavy track; 4.5 len behind Exit carrying 59.5kg at $14. Second-up eased back early on 7th of 12 at Mornington 3yo SWP on April 18 over 1600m, 3 len behind Pavlich carrying 59kg at $13. Could be a sharp improver.
Returns from a 35-day let-up. Most recently 4th of 12 at Randwick in the G1 Atc Oaks on April 11 over 2400m, 1.5 len behind Ohope Wins carrying 56kg at $11. The race before that 5th of 16 at Randwick in the G3 Adrianknox on April 4 over 2000m, slow going 6 len behind Profoundly carrying 55.5kg at $4.60. Through the top races, if she holds her form she'll just about win.
Last start came home strongly from last on the turn; 2nd of 9 at Caulfield Heath 3yo Bm70 on April 29 over 1800m, 0.5 len behind Parvenu carrying 60kg at $11. The start before that second last of 11 at Rosehill in the G2 Tulloch on March 28 over 2000m, slow going 16 len behind Storm Leopard with 56kg at $16. Good effort last time and has claims off that.
Second run back. First-up after five months 3rd of 9 at Caulfield Heath 3yo Bm70 on April 29 over 1800m, 1.2 len behind Parvenu carrying 59.5kg at $5.50. Previously second-up won by 2 len at Ascot Grad Hcp 60+ November 1 over 1500m defeating Saam Time Lucky carrying 54kg at $4.60. Fitter and should be charging late.
Most recently 4th of 9 at Pakenham 0-66 on May 1 over 1600m, 2.25 len behind Hey Bella with 60kg at $9.50. The run before that came from midfield and won by 1.0 len at Wodonga Bm62 April 20 over 1590m defeating Grey Lad with 59.5kg at $16. Not keen on his chances.
Most recently won by 2.5 len at Wodonga Bm62 April 20 over 2050m defeating Flash Of Dallas carrying 58.5kg at $10. The start before that raced on speed throughout when 3rd of 7 at Pakenham 0 - 62 on April 2 over 1600m, 2.5 len behind Pray Day carrying 58.5kg at $14. Tougher assignment here and would need to take another step.
Claiming her maiden victory on debut; favourite; won by 2 len at Wangaratta Mdn-Sw May 3 over 1590m on a rain affected track defeating It Matters carrying 57.5kg at $2.35. Looks smart but will need a big step.
Second-up. First-up after a year second last of 12 at Mornington 3yo SWP on April 18 over 1600m, 5.5 len behind Pavlich carrying 55kg at $51. Previously second-up ran on from midfield and won by 1.0 len at Pakenham 2yo Mdn-Sw May 8 2025 over 1400m defeating Crespiano with 56kg at $4.20. Looks a fair way off peak form so others are preferred.
Returns from a 35-day let-up. Most recently 6th of 14 at Caulfield in the LR 3yo SWP on April 11 over 2400m, slow going 3 len behind Single Choice carrying 57kg at $21. The start before that 2nd in a small field at Kilmore Bm62 on March 31 over 2007m, on a slow track; long-neck behind Prince Pinot with 60kg at $2.70. Has been racing well. Not out of this.
Recent form sound. Most recently won by 3 len at Mornington Mdn-Sw April 28 over 2020m defeating Itsagiven with 59kg at $3.30. The race before that held ground to the line 2nd of 11 at Terang Mdn-Sw on April 12 over 1850m, on a wet track; 0.5 len behind Honeyjoy with 59kg at $10. Progressive and maps for every hope.
Last start 6th of 9 at Caulfield Heath 3yo Bm70 on April 29 over 1800m, 3 len behind Parvenu carrying 57.5kg at $12. Before that got back early 6th of 10 at Sandown-Lakeside 3yo Bm74 on April 15 over 1400m, slow going 4.5 len behind Jett Smash with 55kg at $14. Unlikely to be playing a role in the finish.
Third-up today and placed third-up in the past. First-up came from midfield; 3rd of 10 at Sale Mdn-Sw on April 19 over 1429m, 1.1 len behind Kindamagic with 57kg at $1.55. Second run from a spell favourite; tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by 3 len at Geelong Mdn-Sw May 1 over 1760m defeating And I Am with 57.5kg at $2.30. Not the worst with upside.
Third-up today. First-up 3rd of 9 at Sale Mdn-Sw on April 8 over 1415m, 1.75 len behind Fatty Finn with 57kg at $6. Second-up favourite; came from midfield and won by 4 len at Moe Mdn-Sw April 25 over 1600m defeating Always Shining with 57kg at $2.20. Nice type but this will test.
Form hard to fault. At the latest run favourite; won by 3.5 len at Kilmore Mdn-Sw April 18 over 2000m defeating Wombat carrying 59kg at $1.65. Before that tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 12 at Warracknabeal Mdn-Sw on April 4 over 2000m, 1.3 len behind Think Your Amazing with 59kg at $2. Going the right way but this is much tougher.
Third-up today. First-up came from midfield and won by 3 len at Geelong Mdn-Sw April 22 over 1525m defeating High Altitude with 59kg at $4. Last start 2nd of 11 at Ballarat Bm62 on May 10 over 1600m, on a slow track; 2.5 len behind Siriusly Hot with 60kg at $10. Minor hope.

The race before that 9th of 11 at Morphettville in the LR Pt A Gneas on April 11 over 1800m, on a slow track; 6 len behind Mcwoody carrying 57.5kg at $31. Dominant last time and should only improve to this trip, respecting.

The start before that 5th of 12 at Pakenham Mdn-Sw on April 9 over 2000m, slow going 6 len behind Cushioned with 59kg at $3.30. Will stay strongly and take a bit of catching.
