Comment: Beaten 6l into third here over 6½f (claimer) a week ago; course specialist (three wins from ten); one to take seriously as lower claiming tag suggests she may have less on her plate here.

Comment: Last of seven in a claimer at Monmouth Park last month; shown recent signs of improvement; easy to see her making an impression as shown she can win fairly recently and in off a lower claiming tag.
