I thought Dance and Dance's last was definitely good enough to win this and although it might seem a bit elementary I like the fact he was facing huge fields overseas. He beat home 26 others three back at Ascot, 17 others at Epsom and 16 others at York. In a field where I thought our horses weren't much I wanted to take a shot with a Euro with pretty good form guessing he might be good enough to win.
Hoss, I took the same approach and liked Dance and Dance for most of the same reasons you mentioned. I got blindsided myself by the winner with Leparoux giving him Rolls Royce ride.
