When resuming last campaign fifth of 9 at Matamata May 14 over 1100m, in the wet; 6 len behind Hey Hey Baby carrying 55kg at $17.80. Looks all set for a bright return.

Comes off a 34 day let-up. Most recently 7th of 9 at Otaki on November 30 over 1600m, 4.5 len behind Electron with 54kg at $3.60. The race before that 9th of 11 at Pukekohe in the G2 Auckland Thoroughbred Breeder's Stakes on November 22 over 1400m, slow going 8 len behind Qali Al Farrasha carrying 57kg at $27.80. Has ability and can return to form.

Second run back. First-up after seven months settled back and ran on when 7th of 13 at Te Rapa on December 13 over 1500m, slow going 5 len behind She's A Dealer carrying 58.5kg at $21.40. Previously second-up settled well back; won by 3 len at Arawa Park December 28 2024 over 1560m defeating Hot Salsa carrying 57.5kg at $3.30. Expect a far better result this time.

Most recently 6th of 13 at Te Rapa on December 13 over 1500m, on a slow track; 4 len behind She's A Dealer with 58kg at $17.60. The race before that 7th of 14 at Pukekohe on November 22 over 2100m, slow going 7 len behind Solidify carrying 58kg at $6.70. Better than recent form suggests and deserves another chance.

Recent form sound. Last start 4th of 9 at Matamata on December 19 over 1600m, slow going 0.6 len behind El Viento with 57kg at $5.40. The start before that ran on from midfield; 4th of 13 at Wanganui on November 29 over 1600m, slow going 2.5 len behind Uncle Arch carrying 57kg at $2.60. Shapes as a key runner.

Previously second-up 4th of 10 at Ruakaka on June 28 over 1400m, on a slow track; 1.3 len behind Sterling Express carrying 54kg at $37.10. Others make more appeal especially from her bad barrier.

Last start 5th of 11 at Te Rapa on December 20 over 1400m, on a slow track; 4 len behind Basel Warrior carrying 56kg at $11.30. The run before that got back early 7th of 12 at Riccarton Park on November 15 over 1400m, in the wet; 7 len behind Toa Haka carrying 54kg at $13.60. One of the chances.

At the latest run 5th of 9 at Matamata on December 19 over 1600m, on a slow track; 1.5 len behind El Viento with 56.5kg at $7.30. Before that made some head-way from midfield; 3rd of 11 at Arawa Park on December 5 over 1950m, on a slow track; 2 len behind Gallant Hero carrying 56kg at $4.30. Can atone.

Most recently second last of 15 at Ellerslie on December 26 over 1500m, slow going 9 len behind Rise Companions carrying 55kg at $56.10. Before that won by a nose at Tauranga December 12 over 1500m in soft going defeating Emmy Dazzler with 58.5kg at $10. Will need to improve significantly.

Mare back from a spell of five months. Has placed previously first up from a break. Finished off last preparation seventh of 12 at Cambridge Synthetic August 8 over 2000m, 8 len behind Above The Clouds carrying 52kg at $14.60.

The race before that 7th of 14 at Pukekohe on November 22 over 1400m, slow going 3 len behind Moxie carrying 52kg at $13.10. Can continue her ascendancy.

Yet to taste defeat in two starts. Had her first run for this campaign last start won by a long-neck at New Plymouth Raceway December 4 over 1400m on a heavy track defeating Marriage Vows carrying 57kg at $6.80. Capable of keeping the perfect record intact.
