Fair performance when beaten by 6 m finishing sixth after showing early speed, behind Busload Of Faith at Launceston over 2200m on September 27 at $19. Then a handy effort when beaten by 2 m finishing third after showing early speed, behind Queenofdance at this track over 2090m on October 2 at $7. Further improvement in store.

10-12 Hobart 11Oct26 2090MS $8,000 NR up to 49 Fr4 Grace Jones $51, btn 21.6m, wnr Really Smartie 0, 2:01.3 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Finished tenth at her last two starts since resuming from a spell. Last outing was beaten 21 metres behind Really Smartie at this track over 2090m on October 11. Capable of far better.

1-8 Hobart 02Oct26 1609MS $8,000 NR up to 42 Fr6 Kayleb Williams $3, won by 3.1m, 2nd Barbette 0, 1:59.8 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Shifted out under pressure in the run to the finish.

Last start won by 3 m as favourite (Fr6) at this track (1:59.80) beating Barbette in on October 2 at $3.20 at the bell was leading 2. Leading chance again off a better draw.

8-12 Hobart 11Oct26 2090MS $8,000 NR up to 49 Fr6 L M Alcorn $41, btn 13.1m, wnr Really Smartie 0, 2:01.3 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Last start 8th (Fr6) over 2090m after showing early pace at this track, at the bell was 8th-11.6 beaten 13 m by Really Smartie (2:37.50) on October 11 at $41. Two runs back was well back in the run when 6th (Fr4) over 1680m after being wide early at Launceston was 7th-17.2 at the bell, beaten 11 m by Miki Sanz (2:01.30) on October 4 at $16. This looks a far sterner test.

9-10 Launceston 04Oct26 1680MS $8,000 NR up to 49 Fr5 Ethan Arnott $18, btn 18.1m, wnr Miki Sanz 0, 1:56.2 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Last start 9th (Fr5) over 1680m after showing early speed at Launceston was 8th-7.8 at the bell, beaten 18 m by Miki Sanz (2:01.30) on October 4 at $18. At his previous start game effort when 3rd (Fr3) over 1609m after showing early pace at this track, beaten 5.5 m by Count Your Blessin (2:00.50) on September 23 at $18. Rates highly and can do much better.

8-10 Launceston 04Oct26 1680MS $8,000 NR up to 49 Fr6 Grace Jones $9, btn 12.3m, wnr Miki Sanz 0, 1:56.2 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Inconvenienced and carried back from the 400m to the 250m when caught behind the tiring Modern Jive.

Recent efforts haven't been up to her best. Last start was well back in the run when 8th (Fr6) over 1680m at Launceston, at the bell was 6th-13.2 beaten 12 m by Miki Sanz (2:01.30) on October 4 at $8.50. The run before 9th (Sr5) over 2090m at this track, beaten 22 m by Maxx (2:33.70) on September 23 at $41. Deserves another chance.

5-12 Hobart 11Oct26 2090MS $8,000 NR up to 49 Sr4 Hannah Van Dongen $11, btn 5.9m, wnr Really Smartie 0, 2:01.3 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Failed to impress last start; 5th (Sr4) over 2090m at this track was 7th-15.8 at the bell, beaten 6 m by Really Smartie (2:37.50) on October 11 at $11. Showed ability the outing before when she ran on from midfield and won by 1.75 m (Sr1) at this track (2:40.10) beating My Beautiful Life in on October 2 at $5.50 at the bell was 4th-12.6. Solid top-three prospects.

11-11 Launceston 15May26 1680MS $8,000 NR 43 to 46 Sr4 Ryan Backhouse $41, btn 43.6m, wnr Park Lane 0, 1:57.8 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Returns from the paddock. At the latest first-up run 11th (Sr4) over 1680m at Launceston beaten 60 m by Budd Sidewinder (2:04.70) on August 15 2025 at $101. Will be better for this run and happy to watch this time.
