Jeremy Noseda's DANCE EAST has been very progressive so despite having a bit to find at the ratings now tried in listed company gets the vote with more expected again. Sajjhaa is bred in the purple and well regarded by connections so despite a disappointing run last time might be worth another chance, after all, she was thought good enough for a crack at the Oaks. They are a few staying doubts over Listed winner Carioca, who sets the standard so First City might be a bigger danger off these terms. A good little race that can see more improvement from Dance East.
