Verdict

Though turned over when long odds-on for his Rules debut in this race last year, DANCING CITY nevertheless shaped with a good deal of promise and the subsequent exploits of the winner, Three Card Brag, give that form a strong look. He is confidently expected to go one better this time. Littlefoot deserves to get his head in front but, unless Dancing City misfired, he will likely have to settle for another runner-up spot. Newcomer Junior des Mottes is one to note in the betting.
