THE INSIDE TRACK AT ALDBURY

Dansa Queen
3 gr f Dansili - Percardia
She is a half-sister to Halicardia who won the Lupe St for the stable 2 years ago. Dansa Queen herself had the run of her life at Lingfield in October last year when well behind Blue Grouse, but she learnt so much from her experience that she returned to the track 15 days later and won a 7 furong maiden. I like her as she is a big strong type who was always going to make into a nice 3yo. I know it is a cliche but the win as a juvenile was a bonus. I am not sure where we will start off with her, but I am looking after the fillies a little until the sun shines. She has a good attitude.

Servillia
3 b f Dansili - Housekeeper
She had just the one run last year when 3rd of 12 in a mile maiden at Lingfield and shaped quite well. She was actually unlucky not to have won. She is a strong filly with a good attitude and will stay well. We will start off over a mile, but should get further this season. She is still rather wintry in her coat, but physically has done well over the winter. I am quite hopeful for my 3yo fillies this season, but I will wait and let her tell me when she is ready.

A May foal who is a half-brother to Kandidate, I bought him at the Tattersalls sales. He looks a nice type and will certainly be one of our earlier ones. We will start him off over six.
