Ballroom Dancer gets the confident vote in this maiden with Mutanaseb and Hazytoo rating the main dangers. The selection was a fair third on her debut last season behind Dalvina. That form sets a fair standard and unless a newcomer is above average she will be hard to beat. Mutanaseb rates the main danger on her latest third behind Spanish Moon. She will appreciate this longer trip but she will be handicaped after this run and that is where her future may lie. Hazytoo is another that ran with promise on her debut and she has a good draw but her stable have yet to hit top form and she is taken on with this in mind. Of the remainder, Fraternal and Pivotal Truth are well bred sorts and are worth a cautionary look in the market but for the winner we return to Ballroom Dancer who sets a fair standard.
