Comment: Has won at this track; has raised her game the last twice; was a shade disappointing when third (evens) over 6½f here (claimer) in October; more than capable if on song so should be thereabouts.

Comment: Finished last of eight a week ago on first run for her current trainer when dropped in distance in an optional claimer; been a while since she achieved her only career win; this line-up contains some strong opposition so others are preferred.

Comment: Respectable display to finish fifth, beaten just over 4l in a claimer last month (Mountaineer Park) upped to 1m; possible that there's no more in the locker and patchy form recently; others are preferred in what appears to be a competitive contest.
