Career record shows her ability to win (wins-runs record of 5-19) and attempts to land a hat-trick; scored by 1½l in February in a handicap; edging up the ratings but Craig Zackey a good booking; has to be respected despite this step up in class.

Knows how to win here with three course wins; sprang a shock when scoring at 33-1 in a handicap beating three of these upped to this distance 49 days ago; a rise in the ratings to contend with; she's an attractive contender.

Verdict
Quite a competitive heat but PALACE DANCER can win this. She is chasing a fourth win at this course and can confirm superiority with Soldier's Eye, Free In Seattle and Mount Etna who were behind her when last seen. C&D winner Dimako's Jet is respected.
