Draw: 7 (9 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 20/1
She is an honest mare who is holding her form nicely. She is ideally suited to the polytrack and has been showing nice work at home. With luck from her awkward draw of seven, she should be involved at the finish.
Winning Form Comment: Best MR:76. Finished second behind a nice sort last time. Solid back-up for Greeff camp.
