In depth

Verdict

An interesting maiden to open the card and one that sees little to choose between Dance Flower, Secret History and Miss Malone on what they have achieved so far, and we will side with Dance Flower to bring home the money. Mick Channon's filly already has course experience to her name when second here to Valentin on her only start, a fortnight ago. She shaped with plenty of promise that day and this quicker ground will probably help her, so with improvement to come she looks capable of breaking her duck second time. Secret History will be better suited by this ground than she was when third at Hamilton last time out, though she did at least maintain something like the form of her debut second on that occasion. Mark Johnston's runners are well capable of finding more for the experience and her chance is respected. The same can be said of Miss Malone, who showed form when second to Magical Romance at Kempton last time over this trip and with similar conditions looks capable of repeating that. Of the newcomers, Shohrah is by Giant's Causeway and looks very interesting, but preference is for the experience of Dance Flower to break her maiden tag.
