However she has a tough barrier draw to overcome.
The mare will start from barrier seven following two unplaced efforts but the Wagga trainer-driver is pleased with her most recent efforts.
"It's a tricky draw but I'm very happy with the way she is going," Harrington said.

Life Gets Better comes into the race after a fifth at Leeton.

"I was super happy with how she was getting to the line after that."
