Verdict

Danehillsundance is preferred here to My Super Bird and Miss Havisham. The selection has only had the two starts and he put in an improved effort at Goodwood last time when finishing third behind Dodge City. There should be more to come and he is the one they all have to beat. My Super Bird rates the main danger as he certainly looks the part on breeding and although the stable is not normally noted for first time out 2-year-old winners he has to be considered if there is a positive vibe from the market. Miss Havisham has been well beaten on all of her starts to date but it could be premature to dismiss her chance too readily as she will find this easier than her recent assignments. However, Danehillsundance sets the standard and gets the vote.
