Verdict

ALPHA only scraped home from Dancing Destiny in the Silver Flash but the impression she made when slamming some useful opposition in a C&D maiden prior to that is still fresh in the memory and she can prove too strong for Green Empress, who gave Sun Goddess something to think about in a 6f course Group 2 last time.
