I think we are on target to step her out in distance next time in when the tracks are a bit softer and she has had the opportunity to grow and furnish a bit more,” said Grant Morgan. “I think she will appreciate the sting out. Her full sister in New Zealand is Gr 2 placed doesn’t like firm tracks. “Hopefully she can really be hitting her straps come the Queensland winter Carnival next year.
