Form & Verdict

Useful on her day but has proved inconsistent this term, clear best effort when second in Musselburgh Listed event in June; weakened late in 7f handicap at York last time, so this return to 6f seems a positive.

Best form this season in Class 4 events at Windsor, winning readily in June (good to firm) and neck second on latest outing (good to soft); however, bit to prove in this higher grade at this different venue.

Acts on soft and good to firm; found to be slightly lame last time; perhaps better judged on her Glorious Goodwood performance (first win since joining this yard) when narrowly beating Katey Kontent and Dance And Romance; remains of interest.

Form & Verdict

Acts on good to firm and good to soft (unraced on slower); steadily improving filly whose form figures read 1213, faring best of the 3yos in Glorious Goodwood handicap most recently; ties in closely with Kitai and Katey Kontent on that effort; respected with further progress possible.

8/1 Pinafore, 4/1 Katey Kontent, 10/1 Havana Pusey, 8/1 Under The Twilight, 8/1 Kitai, 5/1 American Arrow, 3/1 Dance And Romance, 6/1 Miss Bodacious

Verdict

With further improvement possible, Dance And Romance (second choice) may reverse Goodwood placings with Kitai and Katey Kontent. However, an interesting alternative is UNDER THE TWILIGHT who remains unbeaten at Salisbury and appears nicely handicapped.[Steve Boow]
