Verdict

Interesting contest with just about all the runners open to further improvement. A narrow vote goes to EASY GAME to confirm the placings with Magnium and Choungaya from the Grade 3 over C&D last month. Defi Bleu and Monbeg Worldwide are others to consider in what should prove to be an informative contest.
  1. Easy Game
