Unexposed Australian filly who stepped up form-wise when gaining a narrow win in a Flemington Group 1 (5f, good) in February; tight between the first four there (second came from a long way back on first 5f run) and she didn't come up to scratch in one recent piece of work but is said to have thrived since arriving in Britain; others would welcome rain more but it's quite possible she will rise to the occasion and prove ahead of the pack.
