        Verdict

        Dressed To Dance can make experience count over Distant Sun, with Not Too Taxing and Not To Know the other main contenders. With Neil Callan riding well at present, hopes are high that Dressed To Dance can open her account at the sixth time of asking after going so close in a course-and-distance nursery last time. Unlucky to be nabbed right on the line, she can make the most of this return to maiden company, aided by what looks a good draw in stall three. Distant Sun shaped well on his debut here in November, finishing third despite running green. This drop back in trip could work in his favour, and so Roger Charlton's charge will be another popular choice. Not Too Taxing was a little unlucky in running at Kempton last time and is now put back up in distance, so has to be mentioned, while Not To Know has some promise but will surely benefit from being tried over a mile at least in future. Any market support for Otaki should be heeded as well, but we are happy to side with Dressed To Dance.
