Verdict

FUN FUN FUN looked an exciting prospect when making a winning start in this sphere here last month and is hard to side against with plenty of improvement in the pipeline. Birdie Or Bust also has better days ahead of her and is next on the list ahead of Miss Agusta and A Law of Her Own who can fight it out for minor honours.
