Group class and very consistent; quickly developed into a smart performer, completing a hat-trick of sprint wins with a maiden success, a Group 2 Blue Diamond Prelude win, and then the Group 1 Blue Diamond Stakes at Caulfield; came from off the pace when a close-up third in Group 1 Golden Slipper at Rosehill next time but beaten favourite in Group 3 at Caulfield (5.5f, good to soft) next time; second when dropped into a Caulfield handicap in September 2019 and a respectable fourth of ten in the Thousand Guineas at Caulfield two starts later; no worse than fourth in eight of her ten outings in 2020, four of them in Group 1s; second on first two starts of 2021, both over 5.5f at Morphettville and Caulfield but disappointing in Grade 1 TAB Classic at former track in May; better effort at Listed level at Eagle Farm (6f) later the same month but midfield in 6.5f Group 2 and 7f Group 1 at same venue in June; usually wears blinkers and a tongue tie.
