Trainer: Dean Smith
Jockey: Calvin Habib
Wgt: 59.5kg
Draw: 6 (10 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 5/1
Her last start over 1160m at Turffontein is best ignored. She is in a good space, and the stable is happy with her. The daughter of Canford Cliffs won her only attempt on this course. SplashOut-sponsored Jockey Calvin Habib knows her well and a big run is expected.

Her last two starts before the short 10-week break were fair. She is very well in herself and is working nicely. The going may be on the soft side which may not be ideal. The daughter of Global View does have a wide draw to overcome, and we are hoping for a positive effort.
Winning Form Comment: Rested 10 wks. Best MR:84. Fair last two runs over a mile. Can feature if overcoming wide draw.
