Bronze Dancer can get the better of Ganymede and Awaken in a tricky claimer. The enigmatic Ganymede has turned in his best effort in a Windsor claimer this season, finishing second and a return to this grade clearly gives him a winning chance despite two moderate efforts in handicaps since. He can be relied upon to throw away winning opportunities however and he is overlooked. Awaken is another who has struggled to score in handicap company but at least she has registered a couple of victories. She overcame trouble in running to score in this class last time and can go well here. Just touched off here in handicap company two outings ago, Bronze dancer is dropped in grade here after running consistently of late. His efforts have been solid and Bronze Dancer can gain a winning reward for some game efforts.
