Verdict

COURT BALOO has been transformed since the cheekpieces went back on and although this demands more, it may pay to side with him in his current form. Electron Bleu does have to prove his stamina which has to be a worry but if doing so will be a threat despite his big weight and Hastrubal could again hit the frame with his stamina assured.
