A chance is taken on this big priced outsider who could have the potential to outrun her price here.

Arguably does her best work over a shorter trip but she has won over 6 and has also gone close over that trip too.

Ran in a couple of hot races recently so a line can be put through them as she returns to Class 3 company today.
