Had a big task ahead settling well back in the running 5.8L at Warrnambool Hcp over 1700m Heavy 8. Hard ridden to make ground but ultimately settled too far back 24.4L at Southside Pakenham Bm74 over 2000m Soft 6.

Applied pressure to the leader but had nothing left at the finish, sixth at Bendigo over 1600m. Came with a nice run late into fourth but the bird had flown at Southside Pakenham. If she handles conditions she should find this easier.

Finished strongly from back in the field for a narrow win at Sportsbet Sandown Lakeside. Never threatened after settling well back at Warrnambool. Steps up in trip and can settle closer in the small field. Hard to beat with the 3kg claim.

Caught the eye storming home for second from back in the field 0.8L at Caulfield Heath 0 -66 over 1500m. Settled a long way back in transit displaying best work very late for sixth 2.1L at Southside Pakenham Bm66 over 1600m Soft 5.

Settled worse than midfield and from that point struggled into sixth 4.6L at Southside Pakenham Bm66 over 1400m.

Raced behind the leaders and ran on nicely for the runner-up spot 1L at Picklebet Park Werribee Bm56 over 1625m. Settled just off the pace and couldn't match it with the winner when third 6.5L at Kilmore Bm56 over 2012m Soft 6.

Nice effort for fourth when running on late at Sale over 1717m. Had the run of race behind the leaders and just missed for second at Echuca over 2112m. Very honest and has plenty of upside. Can be prominent late.
