Formerly trained in Britain by Stuart Kittow, she was bought by David Redvers last summer after winning a Listed race, and, after finishing third at that level, was shipped to Australia for a new career with Robert Smerdon.
Placed in a Group Three handicap soon after touching down, the five-year-old recently won the Gr.3 Schweppervescence Trophy at Flemington, and followed that up today with victory in the Aus$200,000 feature race on the Moonee Valley Card.
