Comment: Safely held here 21 days ago behind Wonder Girl (dropped back to this distance) when beaten 6l (seventh of nine) in an optional claimer; last C&D win was seven attempts back and not won for some time now; a few rivals look in good form so others make more appeal.

Comment: Behind two of these last month when sixth at Colonial Downs in a claimer; tag drops from $30k to $16k here; capable of making an impact if excused most recent run as achieved claimer success two runs back and shown she can win fairly recently.
