In depth
Verdict
Several disappointing types in this and Autumn Fantasy will never have a better chance to lose her maiden tag. Dancing Water is one to have reservations about, while Sabre Dance isn't guarenteed to improve for this trip. It may be left to Alashaan to chase the selection home. Barry Hills' filly will be more at home on this galloping track, rather than the tight Chester circuit she encountered last time.
