CITY SELECTIONS DANITA shaped with promise on her second outing at Kempton before disappointing subsequently at the same course over 1m4f. The drop back in trip on her handicap debut appears to be the right move and it would be no surprise to see her step forward in what appears to be a winnable contest. Sobriquet commands respect in a first-time visor, with her sole victory coming in blinkers, while others to note include Channel Packet and Lenny’s Spirit. DANITA
