Given time (63 days), she contests the $80,000 Powerworx Opunake Cup (Listed, 1400m). Carrying minimum weight (53kg), the pattern of racing will determine whether barrier 14 proves advantageous, but very consistent, by a sire whose progeny handles wet ground, she rates a top four chance if appreciative of conditions.
