13/2

Didn't need to improve much to get off the mark in an uncompetitive heat at Windsor (11.5f) in May, but found it tougher under a penalty against completely unexposed ones at Yarmouth just 3 days later. Fancied to be in the shake-up.

Forecasts

Mildyjama (13/8), Intergalacticat (4/1), Forever Proud (5/1), Dancing Gypsy (6/1), Damascus Steel (13/2), Night Life (12/1), Violeta (12/1), Total Lockdown (20/1), Supposedtobe (25/1)

Preference is for MILDYJAMA, who upped her game when scoring at Ffos Las earlier this month and remains fairly treated. Damascus Steel and Intergalacticat look the likeliest dangers.
