proved better than ever as she capitalised on the drop in grade, now successful on her last 2 handicap starts, well positioned how this went but clearly a cut above these; pressed leader, travelled smoothly, went on over 1f out, quickened clear soon after, comfortably; she'll get another hike in the weights for this and connections will no doubt continue to search for some black type in the second half of the season.
