The mare resumes today in the A$130,000 Brian Markovic Memorial over 1400m for and has the services of top hoop .

The winner of 5 races and more than A$240,000 in stakes, is likely to find today's journey of 1400m well short of her preferred distance, but her class should see her getting home strongly over the final stages of the race.
