The unbeaten streak of Anotherdanceforme ground to a halt at Kenilworth Racecourse in November, but she returns to her home track and should win Race 5, the Breeders Plate over 1600m at Fairview on Friday.
The Master Of My Fate filly won her first six starts, and some of those victories were impressive. She was sent out favourite at Kenilworth but never travelled well in the race and was soon beaten. It is worth noting that her trainer reported she had been coughing.
Greeff confirmed that his charge needed a break and was sent to a farm to recuperate. This is her comeback run and this will likely serve as a warm-up for whatever Greeff has in store for her.
Whatever she does in this, she should improve on it next time.
Only six rivals are set to take her on, and three of them are her stable companions, who are unlikely to beat her.
Of the remaining three runners, two of them – Royal City Girl and East Coast Girl – are decent enough, but both have been at their best on the Polytrack.
