Wore cheekpieces (retained since) for the first time when winning by 6L over 1m at Kempton in January. Good efforts in defeat in two subsequent outings and strong claims of registering a third career success.

Followed up a Kempton win over this trip in October with a good fourth over the same C&D the following month. Disappointed at the same venue subsequently and interesting to see how she fares following a break.

Forecasts

Divine Messenger (8/15), Choral Music (10/3), Majestic Moon (5/1), Zapateado (12/1)

DIVINE MESSENGER looks capable of taking the opening race on the card following a good third last time out. The selection can get the better of Choral Music who can put a below par effort last time out behind her while third place can go to Majestic Moon who has won off higher marks in the past.
