Large speeds in recent races, a 110 to win the Quiet Royalty Stakes, and a 108 LTO to win the allowance prep for this race. This obviously fast filly seems like a sure winner. The only concern is that she has not run 6 furlongs since she was a 2 year old. Now 5 her preferred distance seems to be 7 furlongs.

Posted big speeds in her last six races. The best came in the Gordie\u2019s Prints Memorial covering the 6.5 on dirt in 112. Last two races at 6 furlongs didn\u2019t show her spark, but trainer Blueiband confided that she wasn\u2019t working the way she did before.

She looks to run well as she gave a good prep in her last start closing to finish second in the C My Tail Stakes with a 104 speed.
