Showed some promise in her first two starts as a 2yo including over C&D, but she has gone the wrong way since and is now 0-12; stable's cracking recent form is one area for optimism; hood given a go this time.

Hasn't been finding much in 7f starts this year but two of her best efforts came on this track at two and it's possible the return here will see something more from her.
