Touched off at this venue on her only start at two; beaten favourite on her reappearance last spring; made amends on the second of two starts in the autumn, stuck to her task (despite hanging to the right) to land a heavy-ground maiden over a bit shorter than this at Gowran; fair chance she can pay her way in handicaps this season.
