Sole win over fences (1-14) came on her last attempt at this sort of trip so that may help

Best form is over further but she's a front-runner who jumps well.

Hard to win with but a strong pace up front should benefit her; 12lb out of the handicap
6	Lost Connections Bay J:Gavin Sheehan T:Katy Price	J:Gavin Sheehan T:Katy Price	142	t	574245	114	130	95	120d	—	—	+16	19.6	50 2%
Seven-race maiden, 0-4 over fences; too big an ask from a long way out of the weights.
