Well held in two bumpers and she beat a limited 250-1 chance by 2l in a C&D maiden; not sure that entitles her to a mark of 109, but she's a half-sister to the smart Fun Fun Fun, so could have more to offer.

Huge odds and ran accordingly in a trio of bumpers, including over this C&D the last twice; seems safe to rule out.
