An interesting race in which DECORATIVE gets the nod. Michael Jarvis places his horses well and this Danehill Dancer filly looks set to fare better than when well held at Sandown in August. This ground should suit more and this unexposed daughter of Danehill Dancer gets the vote. Long Lashes ran Seta close in August before flopping at Ascot but now has something to prove, whilst the decision to run the Wolverhampton maiden winner Personified against rivals rated 100+ looks a strange move. Za Za Zoom has to bounce back from a rank Doncaster run, and a bigger threat might be the Henry Cecil pair despite having plenty to do at the weights. Elsewhere Super Sleuth is respected, if only for the fact that she looked a very promising filly last year. She needs to prove that she has truly trained on once again.
