Two of her three wins have come at this track and on soft ground; she hasn't beaten a rival in her two starts this season but they were on quick ground and she could prove a different proposition following the recent rain; handy mark and rider's claim useful too.

Invariably comes to hand early, including winning the last two runnings of this off the same mark as today; was slowly away and pulled hard on his stable debut a fortnight ago and that will have set him up nicely for the hat-trick attempt.
