Verdict

PORT ELIZABETH has her first start on Polytrack but providing she takes to the surface looks good enough to defy top weight. David Wachman's Danehill Dancer filly beat a huge field over this trip at the Curragh last month and though slightly disappointing at Leopardstown subsequently she looks a cut above these. Dustland Fairytale, who wasn't beaten far at the Curragh, has a chance of reversing the form on these terms though she could only stay on at one pace. Beau Bunny had her first run on Polytrack last time where she found the minimum trip too short. She will have come on for the experience and this is more like her distance. Colour Of Love has shown ability and makes her handicap debut from a fair mark after a good run behind Joe Eile here.
