Verdict

A tough one to call as the likes of Echo Park, Zoffanyia and Scoil Naisiunta are all progressing nicely and merit close scrutiny in the betting. However, it may be worth chancing a small investment in DANCING DOLL putting her proven stamina to the test and gaining what would be a deserved first win on turf. The mare has dropped to a very handy mark and, with ground conditions likely to ideally suit, the mare has plenty going for her a value option in an open fillies handicap.
