Show Me Your Love has proved she has the ability to win on soft turf in Australia in the last six months, conditions that will be present in a one-mile race at Tamworth Racecourse on Thursday evening.

A winner of 3 of 8 starts for trainer Kris Lees, the 4-year-old Show Me Your Love was the 2-1 favorite in early betting on Wednesday on the strength of a narrow win at a mile at Tamworth on May 15 in which she closed from fifth of 10 to take the lead in the final strides. The turf course was rated soft that day.
