Finished her race out well at Gowran (7f) and is entitled to be all the wiser with that experience now behind her; however, Pilbara Gold was third with a then mark of 62, so the form is nothing to crow about.

Won a 1m maiden a year ago; uneven form on turf this year before a narrow C&D handicap win in October; not well treated at the weights in a Listed race here last month, so it was a surprise when she was sent off favourite; finished with only one behind her; should be much more at home down in grade here.

Form & Verdict
It was her tenth career defeat when third in a 7f maiden at Gowran so debatable whether that represented improvement or not, though the handicap thought so to have raised her 9lb; others preferred for win purposes.

Losing run since 2023 but holding her form well on AW lately; at her best when she gets a good pace to aim at, which looks likely here but form of her recent Dundalk third has taken a few knocks and may be vulnerable to better treated rivals.
