Comment: 2-33 on the Flat and 0-8 over hurdles; has her first run on the Flat since last October and still 1lb above her last winning mark at Hamilton in June 2024; likely to need the run.

Comment: Took advantage of ease in the ground when successful over C&D (good to soft) last month off 4lb lower mark; all five wins have been on softer than good and probably needs the heavens to open to follow up.

Comment: Won twice last season, the second over C&D off a 3lb lower mark in July (good); hasn't added to her tally this time, but not disgraced in three 8.5f handicaps at Hamilton on first three starts (7f too short last time); interesting.
