4 yo Filly

OR: 65

Form & Verdict
Form figures don't look great but they are misleading as she's had a couple of duff draws and heavy ground to contend with; went off too quickly at Southwell last time and now back on the mark off which she bossed a better race at Haydock in June; one to be interested in from handy draw.

She's had a fine year and has remained in good order since gaining the latest of her five wins in September; solid fourth from a double-figure stall here nine days ago; should give her running again.
