Sheer folly to oppose Dane
The daughter of Danehill landed some decent wagers at Gowran Park five days ago, backed from 6-1 to 7-2 favourite. She beat Lady Marian (rec. 9lbs) by half a length, but that gives no indication as to how much the selection had in hand. She won doing handstands, after being asked only to do the bare minimum in the closing stages by talented pilot, David Condon.
The performance certainly impressed the handicapper. He has raised the four-year-old a whopping 15lbs in future, but she runs here under a mandatory 5lbs penalty.
