All five runs this season have been at Gowran, winning twice over 1m2f and not beaten fair into fourth in 1m4f Listed; didn't count back in trip on latest when visor tried (now replaced by usual cheekpieces); return to 1m4f may suit but stablemate Romzina may have stronger claims.

Made up plenty of ground to lead close home at Galway festival (1m4f, yielding; same race she won the year before) on penultimate start but was herself pipped by a fast finisher; won starts either side, latest by a head off the same mark at Sligo (10.5f) four days later; this is a very different track but she has to be considered with her mark virtually unchanged.
