Disappointing when tried on the dirt before winning easily in Allowance race over six and half furlongs in Italy last start running an SP of 101. M.Cameron takes the ride and could sneak into a place.

Has won last three when switched to turf the last two at stakes level, The Bob’s Warnings Stakes at Ohio and the Mammoth Fuzz Challenge at South Carolina when she returned an SP of 107. Has a great winning record of 7 wins from 10 starts. Will be very hard to beat here.

This will be her first run on turf track. Form on dirt has been good including a good stakes win at Upper New York in the Ambrose Memorial over seven furlongs.
