Chris Gibbs has adhered to former training partner Donna Logan's Australian Oaks strategy by bringing Danzdanzdance from New Zealand for the Group One A$500,000 Vinery Stud Stakes.
Logan, who is now training in Singapore, used today's 2000m feature for three-year-old fillies to prepare newcomers to Sydney racing for their main target.
Gibbs saw no reason to deviate from a programme that enabled Rising Romance to claim the Oaks in 2014. Logan also put Habibi and Valley Girl on the same pathway in 2013 and 2016.
Both placed in the Vinery before finishing sixth and fourth respectively in the Group One ATC Australian Oaks (2400m).
This year's edition of the Oaks is on the second day of The Championships at Randwick on April 14.
