Her first up run was in the Group 2 Sapphire Stakes where she ran wide throughout the race and weakened in the straight.

She will jump from barrier 5 and in the small field she is sure to get a much better run this start which could be the reason punters have backed her. Surprisingly she is yet to win at Group level and she has only had one start in Group 1 company running tenth in the Tatt’s Tiara.
