This appears to be a good opportunity for the consistent Dance Partner to boost her profile. Donyana and Missatacama can give the John Gosden-trained filly the most to do. Missatacama has experience of the track and comes here after a light campaign on the turf. The daughter of Desert Style does need to conclusively prove herself over the trip though and now has a bit to prove. Doyana should be suited by the extra distance and should not be underestimated. She faced a very stiff test against the colts last time and will find this grade of contest more to her liking. However, there are no stamina doubts about Dance Partner and she has a rock solid profile for a race like this. As a previous course and distance winner, it is safe to assume the Danzero filly will act on the track and, the mere fact that Gosden is keeping her on the go at this time of year is enough of a pointer to suggest that connections are confident that she is up to the task today.
