Great performance when second by a length and a quarter, at Alexandra Park on April 4 after being checked to a walk with 300 m to run. Has the potential to reach the best classes.

Strong finisher when placed over 1600 m in Inglewood Stakes at Ranaiora. and 2000 m should present no problem for her. Galloped brilliantly in training at Riccarton yesterday.; . ' .
