Verdict

THETYS was strong at the finish when opening her account at the second attempt in handicap company at Naas and, with the best surely yet to come from this unexposed 4-y-o, she should have little trouble dealing with a 7 lb rise in the weights. The consistent Positive Thinker is likely to give another good account and he is feared most ahead of Friends N Commerce.
