Has won six races here, from 7.5f to 1m4f, the latest last August (1m4f, good to firm); creditable third here in May (8.5f, good) but below-par last two runs; could go well.

It took 15 races before she got off the mark (Beverley in July) but now she's added a C&D win last Thursday; no handicap good thing under her penalty but she needs respect hot on the heels of a career-best.
