Second twice here, including once over this trip, before finishing fourth at Vaal, Super Duper shouldn’t be far away again. A further step up in distance at Vaal appeared to suit Daphne Du Maurier and she is entitled to be thereabouts being relatively unexposed. Dance Class also has decent claims as she’s not done a lot wrong so far but is another tackling 1m2f for the first time. CURVATION (NAP) has found only one too good in three of her four starts since the turn of the year. She ran well over this trip at Vaal on Christmas Eve and her turn may finally have come around. Stratplan Dora could run well at a price if blinkers have the desired effect.
