She is prepared for this outing via a trial at Lark Hill on August 25 over 930m, when she ran midfield in that heat finishing fifth of 10 5.5 lengths off the winner.
The second stable runner will come out in race for in the 100 club Mandurah Cup Now Selling maiden over 1400m with second starter Un Rayo to be ridden by Alan Kennedy jumping from a wide gate in a field of 12.
