Form & Verdict
Placed just twice from her first 16 starts but has improved, winning twice under this rider including by 3l over 7f at Gowran last month; the runner-up bolted up over 1m at same track six days ago, when this filly found herself too far back after a tardy start, keeping on late; should come home well if not too free down the hill here.
