Has done a lot of racing since her last win which was in September 2023; fair sixth here on penultimate run, but will need to reverse to reverse form with Staywitherjohnny and Half Nutz; first reserve.

Hale Bopp, like Bucky Larson is a nice horse to have around the place. Colin said there's a big one in him and he could hit it or miss it depending on the luck of the day - he's that type of horse. I think he's rock solid and could get a mile and two furlongs. He's learning after being immature - Ger Lyons, trainer.
