Head and shoulders above this field on recent form — won back-to-back handicaps with performance ratings of 72 and 71, which are miles ahead of anything the A7 regulars have produced. Won the first of those leading from the off, the second making all. Her best time of 29.16 in a handicap is faster than any A7 runner here has clocked recently. Six course and distance runs with two wins and three places is an excellent record. A confirmed closer who tends to lack early speed, but at Newcastle that's less of a handicap than elsewhere. The concern is the draw — trap 2 wins only 15.1% at A7, and she was beaten last time when leading to the first bend and bumped. But the class gap between her and the rest of the field is so large that the draw may not matter.
