Second run back. First-up after six months 6th of 12 at Phar Lap Racecourse on October 9 over 1200m, on a slow track; 5.5 len behind The Red Rhino with 54kg at $41.80. Previously second-up 10th of 12 at Riverton on April 19 over 1100m, on a wet track; 15 len behind Four The Moment with 53kg at $23.50. Hard to get excited about her chances.
