Ended a 14-race losing run in a 0-50 classified event over C&D last month (fourth course win) and ran just as well when second of ten in a handicap (clear of the third) over the same trip back here last time; the winner is 3-3 since so a 4lb rise may not prevent another big run.

Losing run goes back to C&D win nearly two years ago but she missed most of 2024 and her May run here, after another break, was quite promising; however, she didn't do as well over C&D recently and looks risky.
