The 5yr-old is rediscovering the form that deserted her last season after a season in which she was among the better 3yr-olds in the South Island.
''She was a really nice 3yr-old, went off at 4 and seems to be coming back at 5,'' Pitman said.
But the David Greene-trained Dramatist - seeking a run to keep herself fit for the One Thousand Guineas on November 15 - looms as the clear danger in the rating 75 1400m Pearl Series race, particularly carrying just 54kg.
''Obviously, the horse from the North Island is going to be the horse to beat - it's second favourite for the Guineas.
''If it's a justified second favourite at the Guineas, it should win.
''It should be a walk in the park for it, but we'll be competitive.''
Berenice (race 3) is one of 10 runners Pitman and his son, Matthew, have at Motukarara tomorrow, and Berenice's half-brother, Lukander (race 9), is in the form of his life at home, Pitman said.
The Henrythenavigator gelding chased the likes of Atlante, Include and El Doute in a tidy 3yr-old campaign which could have been even better if he jumped away with the field more often.
''He's working really good - I'm really happy with him,'' Pitman said.
''If you see what he's raced against to what he's racing against on Sunday, it's a massive drop back.
''I just left my brother at the golf course and said to him if he [Lukander] races the way he's working, he's going to be hard to beat.
Pitman is not worried if Lukander is slightly slow away tomorrow, as scratchings have already brought the field down to 11 runners.
''Generally, by the last race of the day, they go a bit and it should help him. The gaps should open up and he should be able to get home.''
Pitman played the patience game with Fair Spoken (race 8) and it almost paid off at Timaru on October 10 when he ran a brave second.
''It was a really good run and we purposely waited for there. If he raced the same way he did last start, he'll be hard to beat.
''It's a track that he can skip away at the top of the straight and be hard to catch.''
So Vital (race 4) needs to overcome a wide draw, while Commanding Oak (race 6) would require a firm track to show his best, Pitman said.
Punters looking towards the Coupland's Mile on November 12 could do worse than taking a look at El Chico.
''I can't believe the odds El Chico is at for the Coupland's Mile ($61). I just think he's the best South Island horse in the race.
''Provided he gets a race at Dunedin and the track's not too wet, he'll be very competitive in the Coupland's.''
