DANCING STORM has learned to settle better this term and proved good enough to turn around recent form with the runner-up in no uncertain terms. Hertrainer considers the give in the ground suited her but, as she was already on a career-high mark, it will not be easy in future as she faces a hike.
Magroom wants quick conditions, so this was not a bad effort, while The Gaikwar does not hold any secrets but usually wins a race a season, the only problem being it's usually guesswork when.
