Is on the quick back-up after finishing third over 2000m at this track just a couple of days ago. Leading contender.

Form average and it has been seven runs since the last win. Last start finished fourth over 2000m at this track. Can be competitive if at her best.

Finished second at this track two starts back then couldn't repeat the dose over 2000m at this track last time, finishing 15 metres from the winner. One of the better chances.

Ran a much better race last start when second at this track over 2000m, beaten 1.5 metres. With even luck is a winning chance.
