Beaten a head (Vaal) New Year's Eve; easy to see him making an impression as recent performance was encouraging.

Got the job done by just over 1l over 7½f at Vaal (handicap) on Tuesday; leading claims as has won off this mark in the last 12 months.

Beaten just over 5l (sixth, Vaal) three months ago; achieved each of her two career wins at Vaal but useful in this grade; definitely of interest if replicating the best of her form and she has been dropped in the weights.

Slumped a bit since winning a handicap at Vaal five months ago; finished out the back two weeks ago; this looks a decent race so easy to oppose.

You have to go back a fair way to find his only win but normally pretty consistent; good second at 20-1 in a graduation plate four weeks ago; competitive shout if backing up last run.

Low strike-rate of 2-16; not disgraced when seventh of 12 over 1m here (handicap) four weeks ago; easy enough to take on as this is a fairly competitive event.

Unable to land a blow when fourth of ten at Vaal on Tuesday in a stakes race; this looks a decent race so others are preferred.

No apparent fluke about her 16-1 success (by 1l) at Vaal in January; been raised a little in the ratings; poses a threat despite moving up in class.

Verdict
Brave Viking is capable of getting involved while Pressonregardless is a major threat to the tip. But PALACE DANCER can prove superior to her rivals. She has dropped to a mark she can take advantage of and has won once at this venue previously.
