Very fast tempo favors her strong finishing strength from midfield. Light 54kg a major edge in country Restricted 62. Barrier 7 neutral but fair Horsham layout suits. Value aligns with form superiority.
Horsham record (1:0-0-1 T/D) and consistent placings make her ideal for very fast tempo from forward position. Light weight aids.
Linda Meech booking (40% recent strike rate, 25% with horse) major positive. Fair Horsham track allows improvers.
Madden combo excellent (29%). Recent Hamilton 7th poor but prior Terang/Ararat form solid. High place probability undervalued in deeper field; suits each-way.
